When citizens doubt the very institutions built to protect them, public trust collapses before policy ever takes effect. Ahead of #TheTrustSummit; 21–23 October in Nairobi, we are live this evening hosting the very first edition of @SautiSessions Campus Edition at @StrathU to confront one central question: What happens when we question the institutions meant to protect us? Grounding our first arena, Government and the People, means bringing student leaders, legal experts, and state officers into the same room for an unvarnished accountability check. Rebuilding the social contract requires asking hard questions where it matters most.

To conclude; Speaking truth to power goes beyond speaking up. It calls for active citizenship, accountable institutions, a free and responsible media, and meaningful public participation. As today's conversation reminds us, building public trust requires all of us to play our part in ensuring institutions serve the people. The question is no longer just who holds power, but how we hold power accountable. Next onto the #TrustSummit

Accountability begins with citizens having the information they need to question institutions and understand the channels available to raise their grievances. But institutions must also be willing to listen and respond. #TrustSummit ~Jeanette Nyanjom

The 2024 Gen Z protests highlighted a critical gap in public participation. Young people felt unheard despite consultations and submissions made by civil society organisations. Their concerns deserved a response. #TrustSummit ~Jeanette Nyanjom

No institution is exempt from public scrutiny, and the Judiciary is no exception. Our Constitution provides mechanisms for accountability, and we have a responsibility to remain transparent about our work. #TrustSummit #StrathMore ~Hon. Paul Ndemo

An institution is only as strong as the scrutiny it can withstand. As we head the #TrustSummit, let's highlighted the importance of allowing institutions to be questioned while protecting the journalists who hold power to account. #StrathMore ~ Rebecca Mutiso

Our Situation Report recorded 47 attacks against journalists between July and September. As we approach the next general election, we must pay attention to the changing nature of press freedom violations and the intimidation journalists face. #TrustSummit #StrathMore ~ Rebecca Mutiso

Speaking #truth to power starts with recognising our own responsibility. We cannot continue treating public institutions as distant entities when we are the ones who create them and give them the mandate to serve us. #TrustSummit ~ @DanstanOmari_

We create these institutions, give them the laws that govern them and establish mechanisms to hold them accountable. The question is: are we using these mechanisms effectively? ~@DanstanOmari_

What does #trust mean for Kenya? From the medicines we buy and the education we receive to the institutions that govern us, #trust shapes our everyday lives. But how do we build it, and who is responsible for safeguarding it? The #TrustSummit2026 seeks to open up this conversation. ~Dr. Ismail Fahmy M. Shaiye, Director of Strategic Partnerships, 2026 Global Trust Summit.

What happens when we begin to question the very institutions meant to protect us? Happening now at @StrathU, is a youth-focused conversation on governance, accountability and active citizenship, paving the way to the Trust Summit. As young people challenge perspectives, ask the tough questions and explore the role they play in shaping society, one thing is clear: meaningful change demands more than just speaking up; it requires showing up. Join the conversation and be part of the change! Follow the discussions as young people speak up, show up and shape the conversations. #TrustSummit #StrathMore
