Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was left laughing after a light-hearted moment with Gen Zs during his engagement with residents at Wamunyoro.
The gathering took an unexpected turn when some young people in the crowd reportedly told Gachagua, “We want to sleep.”
The remark triggered laughter from Gachagua and those around him, creating a relaxed moment during what had otherwise been a politically charged engagement.
Gachagua appeared amused by the response, taking the comment in good humour as the young people made their feelings known.
The exchange highlighted the increasingly informal and direct interactions between politicians and younger Kenyans at public gatherings.
Gen Zs have become an influential voice in Kenya's political conversations, often using humour, blunt remarks and spontaneous reactions to express their views on national issues.
At Wamunyoro, the brief exchange provided a lighter moment and showed the unpredictable nature of political engagements, where crowds can quickly shift from serious discussions to humorous interruptions.
Gachagua continued engaging with the gathering despite the interruption, maintaining his composure and appearing entertained by the young people's response.
The incident quickly became a talking point among those attending the event, with the simple phrase capturing the playful mood of the moment.
For Gachagua, the laughter offered a brief break from the intensity of Kenya's political scene, while the Gen Zs' candid response once again demonstrated their willingness to speak freely during public engagements.
