I get into trouble with powers that be each time I speak – Uhuru Kenyatta

Former President Uhuru Kenyatta now says that he prefers to keep quiet because each time he speaks, he seems to get into trouble with the powers that be.

Speaking at the wedding reception of Gideon Moi’s son Kimoi, Uhuru said that it is the reason he doesn’t have much to say these days.

“These days, I don’t have much to say. Nobody wants to listen to a politician who, every time he opens his mouth, seems to get himself in trouble with the powers that be, so I’d rather keep my mouth shut,” he said.

The retired President narrated how his political mentor, late former President Daniel Moi picked him as a young man among many established politicians, and ended up leading the country.

He encouraged the young people not to be intimidated and to start their leadership journeys now because no one knows what the future holds.

Uhuru reiterated his support for the young generations.

“You guys are the future, don’t be cowed, start now. Who knows what God has in store for you? We are there to support you.”

His sentiments come after recent remarks by some state officials, calling him out over what they termed as ‘exploiting’ the youth.

Other leaders claimed the former president was rallying the youth against the current administration.

It followed a speech he made at the second annual Guild Leaders’ Summit held at Makerere University, where he challenged young leaders to view themselves as the final guardians of Africa’s future.

“You are the last line of defence in the battle to rescue the heart and soul of Africa,” he declared.

“You have the numbers; you have the time and you have the energy to get involved and stay involved in governance discussions until you effect the changes you wish to see.”

He also described the current moment as Africa’s new “independence era,” where the continent must forge its path.
