Mwelekeo Insights has become one of the most consistent voices when it comes to understanding public opinion in Kenya. Known for its straightforward approach to difficult topics, it has built a reputation for sparking conversations that matter.
One of its most impactful platforms is Mwelekeo TV, which delivers podcasts and videos that go beyond surface-level discussions.
The latest episode of the Mwelekeo TV Podcast is a perfect example, focusing on the role of youth in shaping Kenya’s future. The conversation feels timely because Kenya is going through significant social and political changes, and young people are at the heart of those changes.
The episode is hosted by Tonny Nyakoko, who guides the discussion in a thoughtful and engaging way. His guest, Angel Mbuthia, is a well-known policy expert and youth leader whose background in student leadership gives her a strong foundation for speaking about youth issues.
Throughout the discussion, Angel explains how the younger generation is actively influencing the nation’s direction.
She explores the ways that protests, civic action, and youth-led movements have been forcing the country to listen to their concerns.
According to her, Kenya is at a turning point where ignoring the voices of young people would mean missing out on a major opportunity to build a more inclusive future.
One of the strongest moments in the episode is when Angel reflects on the lessons learned from the 2024 Gen Z protests. These demonstrations, which captured attention both locally and globally, showed that young people are willing to challenge systems that are not working for them.
Angel notes that these were not just moments of chaos but crucial reminders that youth are capable of shaping history when they come together for a cause.
She highlights how these protests exposed real gaps in areas such as unemployment, economic inequality, and ineffective policies. The discussion makes it clear that solving these issues requires not just listening to the youth but involving them in the solutions.
Tonny asks questions that push the conversation toward practical action. Angel shares ideas such as mentorship programs, opening political spaces for young leaders, and reforming systems to make them more responsive.
She argues that Kenya’s large youth population is its biggest asset and that sidelining them would only slow progress.
She also speaks openly about the challenges youth face, such as lack of resources, skepticism from older leaders, and the pressure to prove their competence. These struggles, she says, can discourage many, but they also build resilience for those who persist.
The episode closes with a hopeful message. Angel envisions a Kenya where youth lead not just in politics but in technology, business, and community initiatives.
She encourages young people to take responsibility by turning their ideas into action. The conversation is not just an analysis but an invitation for everyone to participate in shaping the country’s future.
At a little over 45 minutes long, the episode strikes a balance between depth and accessibility, making it suitable for anyone interested in Kenya’s direction.
This release from Mwelekeo TV feels like more than just content. It is a reminder that meaningful dialogue can inspire change.
By creating space for voices like Angel’s, Mwelekeo Insights continues to push for a culture where public opinion drives decision-making.
For anyone interested in where the country is headed, this is an episode worth watching and reflecting on. It is available on YouTube and is quickly gaining attention as one of the must-watch discussions on Kenya’s youth and governance.
