Both have been vocal anti-Kenya Kwanza activists, and Morara has already declared his interest in vying for the presidency in the 2027 general elections. Some, especially on online discourses, have pushed Omtatah to also declare his interest in the top seat.
Now Morara, praising the lawmaker, said he would like to work with him in the future.
In his bid to win the presidency, Morara hopes to win the support of the youth, who have been mostly disgruntled by the Kenya Kwanza administration.
“The culture of riding on the backs of the youth must end.
“Even in places of work, no youth should be told that they cannot be managers, CEOs, or army commanders merely because they are young. It’s our moment. This time round we are stepping down for no one. We are tired of trusting older people with our future; it’s their time to step down and trust us with their retirement,” Morara said in a recent post explaining why the youth must take up the mantle.
He added, “I want to see a 32-year-old Inspector General. I want to see a 28-year-old High School Principal. I want to see a 24-year-old Cabinet Secretary for Environment. We have the brains. And yes, we don’t have the experience of stealing. We will not wait for you to believe in us. We have already believed in ourselves.”
Omtatah and Morara share the same stance on youth, as both believe the young generation has a stake to play in the country’s political scene.
Recently, the senator looked back at the Gen Zs’ demonstrations and explained the effects it has had so far.
“The Gen Z protests of 25 June marked a turning point in Kenya’s activism. Despite autocratic leadership, the protests ignited lasting change. From church bishops rejecting dubious donations to citizens boldly confronting corruption, public theft, and poor governance at all levels, the impact is undeniable.
“This movement awakened Kenya, reminding us of our power to demand accountability and fight for justice. For those who sacrificed their lives in the struggle, we honour their legacy by keeping hope alive for a Kenya governed by the rule of law and the Constitution.
“Let’s stay vigilant, united, and resilient in building a just and prosperous future. Change is happening, and together, we’ll see it through,” he said.
After Morara extended his willingness to work with Omtatah, eyes are now on the senator to see whether he will reciprocate.
