Gen Z youths who had earlier said they will hold protests on Wednesday and march to State House have now received bad news. Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen, has come out strongly to condemn them.
Speaking during a recent event, Murkomen said he does not understand why Gen Z want to protest again. He warned them by saying they are lucky to have President William Ruto, who is a patient and kind leader.
“If Ruto was a bad person, he would have already banned protests in the country and ordered your arrest," he said.
Murkomen went on to say that he will not stop speaking out against Gen Z protesters. He said they are not doing the right thing and warned them that marching to State House is not a joke.
“If you think removing President Ruto from power is something simple, you will be shocked. Many of you will end up in jail,” he said.
He also noted that even though the Kenyan Constitution allows peaceful protests, the president still has power to make decisions for the safety of the country.
He warned that if Gen Z continue with their bad behavior the president may be forced to change the law and stop protests completely.
