A new study by GeoPoll, a global research and data giant, shows the young population is still concerned about taxation and corruption, with the top leadership put on the spot for failing to address the issues raised.
In 2024, the Finance Bill, economic hardship, and misrule dominated the conversation, with citizens outraged by high living costs, unaccountable leadership, and runaway unemployment.
In contrast, the 2025 survey reveals that political dissatisfaction has surpassed economic concerns as the primary reason for protest (31 per cent), while the cost of living has decreased to 22 per cent and corruption to just nine per cent.
