In what might see more youthful in Nairobi and Kenya at large continue to like and admire her leadership skills ahead of the 2027 poll, Nairobi businesswoman Agnes Kagure has once again made a strong appeal, urging Kenyans especially the youth and women to get more involved in the country’s politics.
Through her official and verified Facebook page on August 30, Hon. Agnes Kagure expressed her commitment to supporting the next generation of leaders who have often been pushed aside because of their age, gender, or lack of money.
“The price good men pay for not being involved in politics is being governed by evil men,” Agnes Kagure quoted Plato.
Nevertheless, she used this quote to emphasise the risks of staying out of politics and the importance of good people stepping up to lead.

“Many visionary and energetic leaders have stayed away from politics, held back by the barriers of youth, gender, or financial limitations. But now, more than ever, it’s time to be actively involved in running the country,” Kagure wrote.
Kagure who has already found favor with Nairobians over her empowerment programs such as Menstrual Cycle education among women among others, believes that Kenya’s progress depends on the active involvement of all its citizens.
She sees the youth and women not just as spectators but as key players in politics, capable of bringing new ideas and solutions to the country’s problems.
Her call has sparked a discussion online, with many Kenyans praising her views and agreeing that there is a need for more inclusive leadership.
All the same, it won’t and can’t be forgotten that Agnes Kagure is one of the few leaders who have come out to openly advocate for the interests of the youths at a time when those who are supposed to stand with the youths have gone to bed with the looters, corrupt of this country.
