Activist Kajoloweka declines board appointment

Activist Charles Kajoloweka has turned down his appointment to the TEVETA board.

He cites principles and ethics. In a letter to Chief Secretary Justin Saidi, the youth rights advocate said accepting the role could compromise his organization’s independence and advocacy work.

This isn’t the first time Kajoloweka has declined a board appointment, having previously turned down a position on the National Youth Council board in 2020.

Kajoloweka is the Executive Director of Youth and Society.
