    "content": "Zambia Their voices reinforced a global consensus that young people are rising, and Parliaments must rise with them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, a central feature of the dialogue was a vibrant mock Parliamentary Session during which two landmark Motions were debated and unanimously adopted. The first Motion was on Youth and Democracy in Kenya, which called for dismantling of systemic and structural barriers to youth inclusion in governance. It emphasized the need for civic education, political reform, and institutional recognition of youth voices. The second Motion was on Youth and Democracy, a global commitment which positioned Kenya as a champion of youth participation on the international stage, advocating for youth quotas, political finance reform, and representation in global decision-making platforms. These Motions were not abstract. They were rooted in lived experiences. The discussions captured the frustration of young people facing exclusion from political party structures, economic disempowerment, lack of civic awareness, and tokenistic representation."
