President of Kenya on X space

Kenyan President William Ruto is hosting dialogue with the youth, known as Generation Z, this afternoon after addressing the country on issues affecting common Kenyan citizens President Ruto made the commitment on Sunday during a joint media interview with digital writers, distinct from the televised one that had previously aired. He expressed his willingness on Sunday to use their preferred social media platforms, including hosting discussions on X under the Space forum.

The televised protests by the youth over the passage of the Finance Bill 2024 and issues of poor governance, made the President to swallow the pride and climb down to list to the voice of each citizen “I am ready to speak to the youth,” he said asking the lead organizers to send an invite “as soon as possible.” President Ruto, showing strong resolve to heed youth demands, pledged to regularly engage with them either monthly or bi-monthly, provided organizers of the Space forum send invitations in advance.

A concerned and disturbed President acknowledged a disconnect between his administration and the youth and committed to rectifying the issue. Blaming his communication team he said, “Communication and messaging has been one area that my administration has not been successful on but I promise that will change,”. Space forum lacks a formal structure, allowing participants to freely express themselves, including using offensive language, President Ruto seemed undeterred, asserting, “I am willing to listen to them”

X space is not working as everyone was anticipating for, many listeners are complaining of connectivity problem but finally its working as Hussain Mohamed has introduced and welcome the president.
