Uhuru Kenyatta's office declines a planned visit by a Youth Lobby Group

-


 Former President Uhuru Kenyatta's office has declined a planned visit by a youth group (described in reports as a "youth lobby group" or "group of youths/young people," often linked to Gen-Z or emerging leaders) to his Ichaweri residence in Gatundu.

This development was reported across Kenyan media outlets on February 22, 2026. The office issued an official statement signed by Communications Secretary Kanze Dena Mararo, clarifying that Uhuru Kenyatta is currently not in a position to host the group. No prior formal communication or arrangements were made with his office, and organizers were encouraged to reach out formally in advance for any future engagements.

The statement emphasized Uhuru's respect for Kenya's youth—their energy, ideas, and patriotism—and his belief in the importance of inter-generational dialogue for the nation's future. 

He remains open to constructive meetings, but stressed they should occur in a dignified, structured manner that promotes unity, mutual respect, and dialogue over disruption.

This comes amid broader discussions on youth engagement in politics, especially with the 2027 elections approaching and ongoing tensions around youth participation and government policies.

Some reports note the youth group had intended to discuss issues like youth involvement in upcoming elections and had praised Uhuru's past efforts in youth opportunities while critiquing the current administration. 

Jubilee Party also reportedly distanced itself from any planning of the event.

Public reactions on social media (including X) vary, with some viewing it as a prudent decision to avoid political entanglements, while others express disappointment over missed dialogue opportunities.

  Scientists are still stunned by Elon Musk's plan to enable blind people to see, using his Neurolink's Brain Computer Interface chip dubbed Blindsight. Neurolink has already partnered with top Spanish scientists and US Santa Barbara to make a device called Blindsight, a smart Bionic Eye powered by brain implants and AI. Blindsight got the approval of the US Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA), though there have been no human trials. Musk confided that Neurolink will perform its first human implant of Blindsight at the course of 2025. Will Neurolink's Blindsight allow Blind People to see? Blindsight is designed to enable people with total visual impairment, as a result of damaged optic nerve but with intact visual cortex, to see. This is enhanced by bypassing the optic nerve and stimulating the visual cortex to create a visual perception. Visual cortex is part of the brain that receives, integrates and processes visual information relayed from the retina.  Blindsigh...

  Land is a vital asset and acquiring it requires utmost caution to avoid finding yourself in a protracted, unending legal battle. As Kenya's economy bites, there has been increased cases of land fraud.  Land disputes have been so rampant, hence the need for advocacy of future land buyers to be cautious when undertaking land transfer processes.

Imagine navigating the internet, sending and receiving text messages, or even making calls, all with just your thoughts. This sounds like fictional science. However, Musk believes the integration of humans and artificial intelligence is a necessary mileage for human evolution.  Neuralink’s potential extends far beyond convenience; it could disrupt the field of medicine, communication and the way we interact with technology forever. The future Musk envisions is not just coming, it's already in the pipeline. NEURALINK will make Smartphones completely obsolete. Neuralink is a company that was found by billionaire Elon Musk and develops brain-computer interface technology. Its goal is to connect the human brain to computers so as t...
