I found it difficult to continue associating the Gen Z movement with this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The issue of tribalism has been a thorn in Gachagua&#8217;s back that won&#8217;t go away. It was one of the grounds used to oust him from his position in October of last year.<\/p>\n<p>According to Morara, Kenya&#8217;s long history with tribal-centered politics has played a key role in promoting corruption and accountability.<\/p>\n<p>Morara, who has in recent months been spotted associating with Gachagua and other opposition leaders, hinted at a possible point of differences with Gachagua, saying that he will not allow the genz&#8217;s goal to unite the country to be derailed by tribal politics.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The leaders of the opposition should unite. I agree 100 per cent. But what is the glue that will hold us together? Do we have shared values? Are we uniting to replace the problem with another problem?&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Since last year, the self-proclaimed Gen Z leader gained fame after publicly criticising President William Ruto\u2019s government by exposing unfulfilled projects through social media videos.<\/p>\n<p>Last year in October, Kebaso launched the INJECT party, which he confirmed will field candidates in all elective posts in the 2027 elections.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;INJECT Party of Kenya will sweep Parliament, Senate, and all elective seats like a flash flood. People of Kenya, you are welcome to your office in Kahawa Sukari, Kiu River Road, 6th South Avenue. Pamoja Tujenge Chama,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/kenya\">Kenya<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
