Economic development and stability cannot be pursued in abstraction, they must be researched, debated, and understood through the lived realities of our time.

It is for this reason that platforms which convene young minds are essential spaces for engaging, supporting, and sharpening perspective.

Preparing them to participate meaningfully in the conversations that will define and shape the future of our economies.

Led by Pelecia Anyango and Sarah Sawadi, KESA took part in the JOOUST Internal Economic Debate hosted by BESA (Business Economics Students Association).

We commend BESA for convening a forum of such relevance.

KESA–ESAMU relations are founded on a longstanding partnership built on shared purpose and a common commitment to nurturing youthful leadership.

Over the years, this relationship has continued to grow from strength to strength, reflecting institutional collaboration and a shared vision for impact, excellence, and continuity.

This partnership has notably been demonstrated through key moments of collaboration, including ESAMU’s role in hosting one of KESA’s flagship engagements, the National Economics Debate 2023.

It was therefore a great honour for KESA Executive Council, Sarah Sawadi and Pelecia Anyango, in company of Ryan Kiptoo to join the ESAMU fraternity during the inauguration of its new leadership, a significant milestone that marked both the close of one chapter and the beginning of another.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the outgoing ESAMU leadership team through Alex Maina, the chairperson, for their dedicated service, stewardship, and contribution towards building a solid and admirable association.

We also warmly congratulate the incoming team under the leadership of Evans Opati as they assume this important responsibility. We are confident that their tenure will be marked by vision, commitment, and purposeful leadership.

At KESA, we deeply value partnerships such as this; partnerships that are rooted in shared aspiration and sustained by collaboration, trust, and institutional goodwill.

We remain proud to stand alongside ESAMU and look forward to the continued strengthening of this relationship in the years ahead.

KESA continues to shape a more connected and forward-looking economic community, bringing together students, institutions, and industry to engage on issues that directly influence Kenya’s growth trajectory.

At the Economics Summit hosted by MMUESA, KESA President Spencer Muhonja contributed to a plenary session examining how innovation and digital transformation can expand job opportunities for the youth.

The discussion focuses on how technology can be applied to unlock enterprise, improve productivity, and create sustainable pathways for employment.

The conversation also addressed on weak accountability frameworks, and the continued misuse of public resources as a key constraint to economic stability.

In the discussion, there was a shared view that without discipline in governance, progress in innovation and policy will struggle to deliver tangible results.

In her remarks, Spencer Muhonja reiterated that. “Without strong governance and accountability, progress will remain uneven and outcomes uncertain.”

KESA was represented by a delegation including Secretary General Mark Gitau, Organising and Legal Secretary Michael Awimbo, Doreen Williams, Charity Biketi, and Shuler Achieng'.

The summit also convened stakeholders from key institutions, including KRA, KASNEB, and ABSA Africa, affirming the importance of coordinated action across public and private sectors in shaping a stable and resilient economy.

We commend the MMUESA leadership, led by Chairperson Dominic Amosi for the work put into bringing this summit together. The quality of conversations and organisation reflected strong intent and attention to detail.

We also acknowledge the administration of Multimedia University of Kenya for supporting a space where such timely and relevant discussions can take place.
