Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has turned down a request by a group of young people to visit him at his residence in Ichaweri in Gatundu.
His press secretary, Kanze Dena, in a statement on Sunday, February 22, said Uhuru is not currently in a position to host the said group, though he deeply respects the energy, ideas, and patriotism of Kenya’s youth.
The former president asked the organisers of such initiatives to formally communicate with his office in advance so that arrangements can be made for structured, peaceful, and meaningful dialogue.
"Former President H.E. Kenyatta remains open to meeting and exchanging views in a dignified manner that fosters unity and mutual respect. Kenya belongs to all of us. Let us always choose dialogue over disruption and engagement over division," the statement read.
