Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has issued a call to young Africans to take up leadership responsibility immediately.
Speaking during the IGAD Leadership Academy (ILA) Annual Alumni Conference on Tuesday, December 16, he challenged the long-held notion that young people are ‘leaders of tomorrow.’
Uhuru warned that such thinking encourages hesitation at a time when Africa urgently needs bold, values-driven leadership.

He reminded delegates that Kenya’s early political trailblazers, including Tom Mboya and Kenneth Matiba, began influencing national direction in their twenties, underscoring that age has never been a barrier to impact or transformation.
“If you continue believing you are the leaders of tomorrow, that tomorrow will never come. You are the leaders of today. Your ideas, your courage, your personal commitment will shape the future of Africa,” he said.
Notably, earlier in the year, Uhuru called on Gen Z to stand firm in the fight for their rights.
Speaking during the memorial of Kibathi Muigai on Friday, January 17, Uhuru asked the younger generations to never allow anyone to take away what they have worked for.
“The GenZs are the story of the future; fight for your rights, don’t just stay there while people are taking away what’s yours. Don’t allow anyone to take away what’s yours, you have worked for it, so make sure you keep what’s yours.
“Everything is worth a fight for, if it’s taken away let no one complain. Stand for what’s yours. We are behind you,” he said.
