BBI Would Have Opened the Door for Gen Z Leadership, Says Jeremiah Kioni

By Ahmed Salat Ali | Political Affairs | AARAN TV KE  Jeremiah Kioni, the Secretary-General of the Jubilee Party, has argued that the now-defunct Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) could have significantly expanded political opportunities for young Kenyans, particularly members of Generation Z seeking leadership roles in national governance.
