Every hour, my admiration and appreciation for Kenya’s #Gen Z grows by leaps and bounds.
From Eldoret to Nairobi, Garissa to Nyeri, Kisumu to Nyeri, Nanyuki to the State House gates in Nakuru and Nairobi, as well as many other parts of the country, you have been conscientious protestors to The Finance Bill, 2024.
You have publicly expressed your displeasure with this dishonest and insensitive Kenya Kwisha regime, whose primary purpose appears to be embezzling your hard-earned money.
It is unfortunate that our security officers, who should be safeguarding you, are engaging in acts of intimidation and, when that spectacularly failed, resorted to the use of brutal force against you for peacefully exercising your constitutional rights to picket and demonstrate.
While your elder siblings, parents, and other family members continue to observe you with admiration, it is unfortunate that 204 Members of Parliament chose to ignore your voice.
I have repeatedly termed this Bill unreasonable, unsound, and uncorrectable. It is a grave betrayal of Kenyans and I applaud the 115 MPs who paid attention and Voted No on its Second Reading.
Thank you and May God Bless Kenya.
