Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has praised President William Ruto for engaging and fielding questions from young Kenyans, Generation Z, through audio conversation on X-Spaces.
Speaking in Nyeri town on Saturday evening, the Deputy President lauded the young people for seeking to have a conversation with the president virtually, adding that this marked a turning point in public engagement towards good governance.
“The young people did well to speak and this a new beginning for our country, that everybody matters. Every Kenyan has something to contribute to the well-being of our nation, including the young people. In fact, they know more than we do. They have the knowledge we have the experience,” he said.
On Friday afternoon, President Ruto engaged Generation Z in a live audio discussion on X Spaces, where he answered questions from the participants.
“What the President did yesterday (Friday) was a good beginning. It was a very healthy conversation, I listened in and it was very good,” said Gachagua.
He spoke during a graduation thanksgiving service of Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga’s daughter Grace Wangechi who recently graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication from Strathmore University.
The Deputy President asked political leaders to emulate the Head of State and engage the people more.
“Let us listen to the people,” he told leaders as he rallied Kenyans to support the Head of State in his mission to turn-around and rebuild the country’s economy.
He further asked political leaders to avoid talking down on people and bravado.
The Deputy President, in addition, condemned destruction of public and private property during the recent protests, which started peacefully before infiltration by criminals.
Thee Deputy President was accompanied by his spouse Pastor Dorcas and various political leaders who included; Governors Joshua Irungu (Laikipia) and Kiarie Badilisha (Nyandarua), Nyeri Deputy Governor David Kinaniri, Naivasha MP Jayne Kihara, MCAs led by Nyeri Speaker Gichuhi Mwangi, Clergy and the Community leaders among others.
