Migori Governor Ochilo Ayacko has appealed to the youth to reconsider their stance and embrace dialogue with President William Ruto.
Ayacko on Thursday said dialogue is the best way to resolve all the pending issues they have raised.
He however said the dialogue should be free and include as many people who want to participate in it as possible.
"I want to encourage the young people, the Gen Z, to seize the opportunity and join in that discussion, those who are available can join it, those who chose to protest can continue churning out areas of concern through peaceful protest," he said.
"But any attempt at refusing to dialogue is not the way to go. There is no other way, there is no other opportunity, there is no other methodology other than Kenyans coming together and discussing," the governor said.
Ruto on Friday last week during an address to the nation indicated he would "shortly" announce changes in his government.
On Tuesday, President Ruto gave the strongest hint yet, calling for "a broad-based political arrangement to move the country forward."
The new political arrangement comes after weeks of nationwide protests that threatened the stability of Ruto's administration.
Both Ruto and Azimio leader Raila Odinga called for "wider engagement and conversation" to address the country's political challenges, with Raila stating that the Nadco report highlighted many issues that needed to be solved.
The Gen Z have however maintained they will not take part in the dialogue, saying the issues they are raising should be addressed through action.
