Rigathi Gachagua has a message for young people. The former Deputy President thinks Gen Zs and Millennials are doing great things online, but he wants more!
Gachagua spoke in Kakamega on Sunday. He told the youth to keep calling out the government. They need to expose all the bad stuff in society, he said.
But just talking online isn't enough, according to Gachagua. He begged young people to register as voters, too, as that's the only way to really change things.
The former DP sees the youth as Kenya's hope for a better future. He believes they have the power to fix the country's political problems for good.
Gachagua praised the young generation's patriotism. He loves how they're fighting for change on social media. But he reminded them that the real battle happens at the ballot box.
The youth need to vote in 2027, Gachagua insisted. That's when they can truly liberate Kenya and bring good governance. The young people have a huge responsibility to sort out the country, he said.
Kenya's youth have been super active online lately. They've used X and TikTok to demand accountability from their leaders. It all started before the big anti-government protests in June 2024.
The Gen Z movement has made some serious waves. They even got President William Ruto to hold a meeting on X! The youth's pressure also led to a cabinet shakeup and a sit-down with former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Gachagua wants the young people to keep up the good work, but he's urging them to take their activism to the next level. It's time to register and vote, he says. Only then can they truly change Kenya for the better.
