Thursday, July 4, 2024 – President William Ruto’s daughter Charlene Ruto has come out to defend her father amid heightened political temperature fueled by the Gen Z revolution against the president and his government over the Finance Bill 2024.
Addressing the nation yesterday,
Charlene, flanked by a group of youth identifying themselves as university
youth leaders in the 47 counties, appealed to the Gen Zs to embrace dialogue
for the sake of the country.
She noted that she was one of
the Gen Zs and perfectly understands the challenges facing young people.
“I stand before you today not
just as the President’s daughter but as one of you, a young Kenyan passionate
about our country’s future,” Charlene said.
The first daughter decried the
looting and vandalism that transpired as the protests progressed, saying that
it was disheartening that peace had been far from her in the recent past.
” I hear your voices, I
understand your concerns and the challenges we face as a generation are real
and pressing,” she implored.
Charlene observed that the
rising cost of living in the country was a matter of concern as well as the
unemployment crisis faced by a majority of educated youth.
“We are all feeling the impact
of the current economic situation,” she said.
However, Charlene appealed to
the youth to understand the complexities of governance, telling them to not
only criticize but also offer solutions to the problems.
She promised to work alongside
the Gen Zs urging them to be open to dialogue if solutions to the current
problems are to be realized.
