In a recent statement, the youth of Nandi County, known as the Gen Z, expressed their satisfaction with President William Ruto’s responsiveness to their concerns following their participation in recent protests. The group praised the President for listening to their grievances and addressing them promptly.
However, the Nandi Gen Z have voiced their strong opposition to the upcoming protests scheduled for Tuesday, July 23rd. They claim that those organizing and participating in these demonstrations are not genuine protestors but rather opportunistic goons and criminals looking to exploit the situation for personal gain. The youth have called upon President Ruto to take decisive action against these individuals to prevent further chaos and potential looting.
Goons taking over the protests
“We participated in the protests because we had genuine concerns, and we are grateful that President Ruto listened to us. However, the upcoming protests are being organized by people with malicious intent, not by genuine Gen Z protestors. These are criminals who want to take advantage of the situation and loot our country,” said a spokesperson for the Nandi Gen Z.
The youth emphasized their commitment to maintaining peace and stability in the region, stating that they will not allow their legitimate protests to be hijacked by those with ulterior motives. They urged the President to use all necessary measures to ensure that the planned demonstrations do not devolve into violence and destruction.
“We love our country and want to see it prosper. We cannot stand by and watch as criminals try to disrupt our peace and security. We plead with President Ruto to take action against these planned protests and to protect our nation from those who wish to cause harm,” the spokesperson added.
The call from the Nandi Gen Z highlights the growing concern among citizens about maintaining order and preventing violence during protests. As the date of the planned demonstrations approaches, all eyes will be on the government’s response and the measures taken to ensure the safety and security of all Kenyans.
Candle lighting for fallen protesters
A group of young people gathered at the Calvary Chosen Centre Church in Thika on Sunday, July 21. They had come together to honor and remember their friends and colleagues who had died during the recent protests against the government.
The young people lit candles as a way to pay tribute to those who had lost their lives. This was a solemn and emotional moment, as they reflected on the tragic events that had unfolded.
Despite the somber atmosphere, the group vowed to continue their “work” on Tuesday. This suggests that they are planning to resume their participation in the protests, which have been taking place across Kenya.
This decision comes despite a strong warning from President William Ruto. The president had addressed residents in Bomet, a different part of the country, and stated that he would deal with anyone who causes “mayhem and anarchy” in the country.
Ruto’s comments indicate that the government is taking a firm stance against the protests and is determined to maintain law and order. He seems to be sending a clear message that he will not tolerate any further violence or disruption.
