voting is it your right or responsibility

The elections are coming closer in Kenya
YES or NO
TICK or CROSS
I for instance , i called my self a skeptic
At 21 years of age apparently im a skeptic
So no , im not gonna vote
At least that's what i thought
Because voting is something that affects your whole life
It will affect me when im 33 , 44 , 55 , 6....
It will affect the society im living in
Affect how we perceive our governments
For once we want to see formulation that is IMMEDIATELY followed by implementation
Affect the lives of millions of people#
How could i ever say that i was skeptical of our government system
Our lack of transparency , democracy and corruption
But i am the change i want to see
Society has me as a member and i want to make it better
Voting is an integral part of change
Even if you don't vote you do , because your inaction
Is ACTION
Whoever is in power does not get to know your opinion
So to all you citizens out there
GO OUT AND VOTE
CHANGE IS GRADUAL BUT IT IS CHANGE NONE THE LESS
