 It is the 22nd of September 2020. Now 5 minutes past 8 a.m. Good evening to you. Thank you very much for keeping it Y254. We are broadcasting live from the broadcasting house here in Nairobi. It is a very chilly evening, hoping that you've had a fantastic day. And even as you continue with this conversation tonight, we have a lot in store for you. Now in an adversary that was dated 21 September 2020, that was yesterday, the CS, that is the Chief Justice David Maraga, gave a response following six petitions, seeking his advice on the matter concerning the two-thirds gender rule. Now in the statement he said, and I quote, the petitions are based on the ground that despite four court orders compelling parliament to enact the legislation, parliament has blatantly failed, refused or rejected to do so. Now the CEJ advised the president to dissolve parliament, saying in his own words that it was his constitutional duty to advise the president. Now the question is, is the president bound by the CEJ's advisory? What next even as we look into the future of Kenyans? Now tonight we shall be talking about matters to do with parliament, hustlers, dynasties and the future that you want. Tonight I will join by Daniel Orogo. He is a current convener of the Kenya on the move political think tank. He is a KOM and the former aspirant of Kibira by elections and a fellow at the political leadership and governance program. Dan is the one who will be joining me in a bit. Kirote who is also on your screen shall be joining me. Dan, thank you very much for joining me tonight. Now I'm giving you two minutes to address the nation. What is your take in regards to the current political trends that have taken the country so far? How far are we and what is your stand in regards to the future for Kenya? Two minutes starts now. Thank you Ram. My name is Daniel and I'm a proud young Kenyan this evening. As you have intimated in your opening remarks, the events of the political scene in the last two weeks has treated Kenyans to a very, very interesting scene. One of the definition of terms that we've seen are three major important things that Kenyans need to find out if that defines them. One is the term dynasty, the other one is the term hustler and in between there is a term called conmanship. So I would ask Kenyans that the dictionary defines the word dynasty as a family of rulers that has taken a captive of a nation or a kingdom for a long time and has been successful in establishing their governance system. The word hustler in the other terms means a person who's achieved and acquired his own means through a ways of cheating, lying and using other means to obtain. The word conmanship is known. So in all these words have been treated to a political scene but the one that remains that has never defined the word citizenship where does the Kenyan ordinary citizen stand? So this is a question that I've been asking myself that in all these definitions we have not defined the word citizenship. Lastly we are also looking at the fact that as a country the last events that took place yesterday night has really has to prove to us whether our nation is a nation that practices constitutionalism or whether we believe this or not. So it would be glad that we have an opportunity to discuss this in context and in form tonight. Thank you very much Dan. You may have your seat there. Now joining me next is Anita Kirote. She is a political scientist undertaking her masters in a public administration at the Kenya School of Government and also the deputy organising secretary at Third Way Alliance Party Kenya and also the youth senate representative of Taraka Niti County. Anita, thank you very much for joining me tonight. Now I'm giving you two minutes to address the nation. Give them your stand. Following the recent trends that have taken place in the country what is your stand about the future for Kenya? Thank you so much Ram. I as Anita Kirote would like to remind the young people of Kenya and women that the future is in their hands. The future is in women. The future is in the youth. The future is in our hands. And I'll remind us of article one of the constitution which reminds us that we the people of Kenya we one nation under God and I want every Tom, Dick and Harry I want Omondi, Onyango, Anki Rote, Muremi sited over there I want us all to remember that this country is ours we are the one who will start it forward we don't have to listen to any Tom, Dick and Harry giving us contrary opinions and I believe the time is now the 2,000 gender rule that has brought a sort of stalemate in the country between the executive and the legislature and the judiciary and it is timely for young people to demand for their space and I have seen young people saying if we go for buy elections then they will buy so for me today I say that the future of the young people is in our hands and I will even give an example of Zimbabwe if you remember Robert Mugabe was removed by his own people young people the youth league of Zanu PF so young people in political party can take their stand and can give a direction on the way forward in this country so for me the future is in the hands of the young people Thank you very much Tanita you may have your seat that is their stand tonight what is your stand? remember the hashtag as always is the stand KE at Ramaguko at Y254 channel that is on Twitter we are also on Facebook on our website we are live at www.y254.co.ke my name is Ramaguko hoping that you will see with us from now till that I held the stand starts now
