July 2025 ‘s intergenerational National conclave has been hailed as one of Raila Odinga’s boldest political initiatives, bringing together Kenyans. launched earlier this year after months of consultations with civic groups and youth leaders, the conclave sought to bridge Kenya’s age divide through open dialogue and policy collaboration. Its agenda directly confronted youth unemployment, corruption, police brutality and political exclusion issues that have long fueled frustration and mistrust between citizens and leaders.

for over four decades, Raila Odinga has been a central figure in Kenya’s democratic journey, beginning in the early 1980s as part of the pro-democracy movement that fought for multiparty politics. He has since helped shape constitutional reforms, championed political freedoms and mentored leaders across generations. The conclave ended with a joint resolution calling for increased youth presentation in government tougher anti-corruption measures and reforms in community policing. Public reaction has been largely positive. One Kenyan wrote on X:”July 2025 intergenerational national conclave was one of his boldest ideas yet.it was about dialogue that bridges decades, turning Kenya’s diversity of age into strength”. the former prime minister described the event as a foundation for a Kenya where age is not a barrier, but a bridge to share progress.
