For the last three weeks, Kenyans have been taking to the streets to protest high cost of living and poor governance.
Youths under the tag Gen Zs and millennials stormed the parliament of Kenya sending a clear message to the rulling class on how agitated they are.
Well, their agitation forced president William Ruto to head to X, and hold a space with them on what should be done to improve the country’s leadership and improve service delivery.
It seems like the head of State has changed his approach on how to deal with protesters. Speaking in Bomet county after attending a church service, Ruto claimed that anarchists are taking on the streets and that his administration will deal with them firmly.
” I want to tell those trying to destabilize our nation through protests sponsored by foreigners that we will deal with them accordingly. I have tried to talk to them, but they have been running away. It’s time to focus as a country and deliver” said Ruto while in Bomet.
This is coming Just days after the president called for dialogue with the youths in what was seen as a caring president who was ready to act. However, he went ahead to retain some names in his new cabinet rubbing youths in a wrong way again.
