Renowned media personalities Maina Kageni and Wahome Thuku have issued a powerful call to Generation Z, urging them to remain “tribeless, faceless, and fearless” in their pursuit of progress and unity. Addressing the younger generation, Kageni and Thuku emphasized the importance of transcending tribal and social divisions to build a more inclusive and harmonious society. Their message resonated strongly, particularly in a country where tribal affiliations have historically influenced social and political landscapes.
Kageni highlighted the potential of Gen Z to drive significant change by embracing diversity and rejecting the outdated norms that perpetuate division. He encouraged the youth to focus on their commonalities and collective goals rather than being constrained by tribal identities. Thuku echoed these sentiments, stressing that being “faceless” in this context means prioritizing actions and ideas over personal fame or recognition. He urged Gen Z to champion causes that benefit the larger community, thereby fostering a sense of shared purpose and solidarity.
Their appeal has sparked widespread discussion, with many applauding their vision for a united and forward-thinking generation. As Kenya continues to navigate its socio-political challenges, the call for a tribeless, faceless, and fearless mindset among the youth is seen as a crucial step towards sustainable development and national cohesion. The messages from Kageni and Thuku serve as a reminder of the power of unity and the pivotal role of the younger generation in shaping a brighter future.
