Martha Karua recently demonstrated her appreciation for youth culture and Kenyan music by visiting Wakadinali’s studio in Nairobi. Dressed in a kitenge top, jeans, boots, a fedora hat, and eyeglasses, she appeared lively and youthful as she danced to Wakadinali’s hit song “Tamashani.” Her energy and enthusiasm were captured in a video that quickly went viral, showcasing her classy dance moves.
Although the popular rap group’s members—Scar Mkadinali, Domani Munga, and Sewer Sydaa—were not present during her visit, many people responded positively to the video. Reactions ranged from admiration for her open-mindedness and youthful spirit to suggestions that her gesture might be a strategy to win over the youth vote ahead of the 2027 elections.
Karua has been known for her support of the younger generation and the Gen Z movement, but her visit to the studio caught many by surprise, sparking conversations about her connection with modern Kenyan culture. While some applauded her willingness to engage with the youth, others speculated about the political motivations behind her appearance.
In addition to her involvement in Kenyan politics, Karua has recently been active in advocating for justice in Tanzania. Her defense of opposition leader Tundu Lissu, who is facing treason charges, led to criticism from Tanzanian ruling party officials. Stephen Wasira, a party official, accused her of interfering in Tanzania’s political matters, asserting that the nation maintains judicial independence and suggesting she was attempting to export political instability.
Karua’s engagement with both youth culture in Kenya and political matters in neighboring Tanzania highlights her dynamic role in regional politics and her commitment to social issues across East Africa.
