Political activist Morara Kebaso recently met with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua in Nairobi to discuss various national issues affecting Kenyans.
Their meeting on March 1, 2025, focused on key topics such as political reforms, youth unemployment, economic exclusion, and human rights abuses.
Kebaso, who has been vocal about the need for change, emphasized that Kenya requires practical steps to address these challenges.
He believes that political conversations should lead to meaningful actions that improve the lives of ordinary citizens.
Gachagua, on his part, has been advocating for the involvement of young leaders in governance.
He has even proposed appointing a Gen Z deputy in his political party to bring fresh ideas and energy into leadership.
This high-profile meeting took place shortly after both Kebaso and Gachagua attended the launch of the People’s Liberation Party (PLP) in Nairobi.
The event was graced by other political figures, including Martha Karua and Kalonzo Musyoka.
This indicates that Kenya’s political scene is shifting, with new alliances and discussions taking shape.
Gachagua, who has been repositioning himself politically, appears keen on forming partnerships that can shape the country’s future leadership.
By engaging young activists like Kebaso, he shows an interest in bridging the gap between experienced politicians and the younger generation.
Kebaso’s engagement with Gachagua has sparked conversations about whether he is aligning himself with a specific political faction or working independently to push for reforms.
However, analysts believe that such engagements could be strategic in integrating youth leaders into mainstream politics, where they can push for real change.
Kenya has seen a growing demand for youth representation in leadership.
Many young people feel excluded from decision-making processes despite being the majority in the country.
Gachagua’s idea of appointing a youthful deputy could be a significant step in addressing this concern.
However, critics argue that such moves should go beyond mere appointments and focus on empowering young leaders with real influence.
