Thursday, July 11, 2024 - Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga has blasted President William Ruto for not listening to Gen Zs.
In a statement, Kahiga, a
staunch ally of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, urged Ruto to listen to Gen
Zs and do what they want or simply get out of their way.
The governor called for a more
decisive and responsive leadership, one that aligns with the demands of Kenya’s
youth.
At the same time, Kahiga expressed
deep concern over the advice Ruto is receiving from his inner circle.
"With a lot of humility and
respect, I address my president, William Ruto, and tell him that there are men
and women around you who you could be calling advisers, but you are in the hole
you are today because of the misadvise they have given you," he stated.
Kahiga's remarks come at a time
when the nation is grappling with socio-economic issues and political unrest
occasioned by Gen Z.
The county boss urged Ruto to
take a step back and reassess the current state of the nation.
The governor emphasized the
importance of decisive action, stressing that the promises made by President
Ruto during his campaign would not be realized in the current political
atmosphere.
"You made so many promises,
but they will not be achieved in this political atmosphere," Kahiga noted.
Reflecting on the voices of
Kenya’s youth, Kahiga highlighted that the demands of Gen Z should be at the
forefront of any political strategy going forward.
"The Gen Zs have made
their demands clear. You engaged with them, and they told you what they wanted.
None of their demands was to put up a 150-member team to negotiate," he
pointed out.
"If they tell you to
reorganize your cabinet, please do it. If they say sack it, do it. There are 50
million Kenyans who can fit in those offices."
