Tuju explained that his focus is currently on personal matters and that he does not see how he could add more value to the existing government team.
Speaking on NTV’s Morning Show, Tuju was asked if he would accept a government appointment if offered.
He firmly replied, “I would not. I’m focused on my personal matters, and I don’t believe there’s value I could add beyond what those already serving are contributing.”
Tuju emphasized that his support for a broad-based government is guided by the need for stability and constitutional order, not personal ambition.
He cited international examples, including Egypt and Sudan, to show how revolutions without sustainable leadership can fail.
“See what happened in Egypt. There was a popular revolution, but it didn’t last. The military had to step in. In Sudan, the young female leader of the revolution is hardly mentioned today,” he remarked.
In a rare move, Tuju addressed Kenya’s youth directly, offering a public apology to Generation Z. He admitted that his generation of leaders had failed to create meaningful opportunities for young people.
“First of all, I must say, I’m sorry on behalf of my generation. We have failed at a national scale,” he said.
Tuju compared past and present opportunities, recalling how graduates were guaranteed employment after completing teacher training in his era.
He highlighted the current employment crisis, where over a million students leave secondary school each year, but only around 50,000 to 60,000 get government jobs.
He warned that this lack of opportunities fuels frustration, hopelessness, and crime among youth.
Despite these challenges, Tuju urged optimism.
“We have failed, yes. But our best days are still ahead. We can still solve these problems if we act together,” he concluded.
