Martha Karua dismisses calls for national dialogue labelling it as a trap by politicians to hijack the Gen Z revolution
Martha Karua dismisses calls for national dialogue labelling it as a trap by politicians to hijack the Gen Z revolution.
Narc Kenya Party leader Martha Karua has raised concern over the formation of a multi-sectoral forum to address issues raised by Gen Z during the recent anti-government demonstrations.
In a statement via X on Tuesday, July 9, Karua warned politicians against hijacking the reforms initiated by the youth.
“Let us be careful as the political class lest we hijack the genuine clamor for accountability and reforms by the GenZ,” said Karua.
The Azimio la Umoja co-principal noted that dialogue can be meaningful if the participants are guided by the interests of the nation.
“Dialogue can only be meaningful if the players have good faith and are guided by the best interests of the people,” Karua added.
The Narc Kenya party leader’s remarks come after President Ruto announced that there would be a six-day multi-sectoral forum to address the country’s challenges.

“We have agreed that we give people an opportunity to be heard, to express themselves to come out with the grievances which are ailing our country today so that a last solution can be found,” Raila stated.
The multi-sectoral forum is expected to include, the religious community, political parties, civil society, and professional groups.
