Uhuru Kenyatta Urges Gen Z To Fight For Their Rights

Former president Uhuru Kenyatta yesterday urged the young generations to keep continuing fighting for their rights.

In what seems like a direct attack on president William Ruto, the former president finally broke his silence after months of silence amidst the ongoing criticism of the government. Back in June last year, Gen Z took to the streets to demonstrate against the plans to introduce the financial bill 2024, something that would have affected the youths in the near future. The Finance Bill was dropped after Parliament was broken into last year.Raila Odinga then dropped a bombshell when he decided to work with Ruto, something that cooled the rising political temperatures in the country.

Uhuru Kenyatta urged the Gen Z to continue fighting for their rights. “The problem of people nowadays is people are afraid. Gen Zs are the story of the future. Fight for your rights. Fight to ensure you are getting what is rightfully yours.Don’t stand and watch as your wealth is taken from you. Everything is worth fighting for. If you do not fight for it, don’t cry if it is taken away.”He said.

Towards the end of last year, Ruto met Uhuru Kenyatta in his home in Gatundu, and the two held a discussion. A few weeks later, Uhuru’s allies, including Mutahi Kagwe, were appointed to the cabinet slots and were sworn in on Friday morning.
