Kenya's Youth are Awake...are we?

I love the the Kuweni Serious campaign.
Kenyan youth question their own participation in their country as it grows, what they're doing about it, what they're saying about it,making their opinions be heard, making their opinions matter, how youth should be more involved since its them who are gonna be leading tomorrow.
I love this kind of dedication, of young people working towards doing better for their country...
Yes, movements like these really get to me, I love seeing young people who have more on their minds that booze and getting wasted or partying...
Question is, Are we awake as well? Kuweni Serious...
 Listening to this really made me want to get up and do something about my own country...

It is perhaps only when our country was set on fire that we began to see how deeply politics affects us. A few months later, we were paying hitherto-unheard-of prices for fuel, there was water rationing, and power rationing, and then food started to run out. Only then did many more of us realize that we can’t hide forever in the company of the Lil’ Wayne’s and Prison Breaks of this world. Perhaps it is only when our comfort zones were threatened that we realized that our leaders, our “Honorables” are self-obsessed, thieving, murderous idiots. Honorables, indeed.
