President William Samoei Ruto’s plans for a gathering with Generation Z and other young Kenyans have hit a snag as some individuals have expressed their reluctance to participate. Despite extending an invitation to Generation Z for discussions on various issues related to youth empowerment, there seems to be a growing sentiment of distrust and weariness towards Ruto’s leadership. The rejection from some Kenyans highlights a lack of confidence in the president’s ability to address their concerns effectively.

The rejection of Ruto’s upcoming address by a section of Kenyans is rooted in their belief that the president has not been truthful in his dealings with the public. Accusations of spreading falsehoods and propaganda have further fueled the discontent among those who refuse to engage with him. The call for Ruto’s resignation reflects a deep-seated frustration with the current administration’s failure to deliver on its promises, particularly in relation to youth empowerment and other critical issues affecting the country.

In response to Ruto’s invitation, those who have declined to participate have made it clear that they will not be swayed by empty promises or political rhetoric. By organizing a separate event where they can freely express their views without fear of reprisal, they are asserting their independence and determination to hold the government accountable. The demands put forth by these individuals, including the dissolution of the Cabinet, salary reductions for government officials, and concrete actions to address youth unemployment, underscore the urgency of their concerns and the need for meaningful change.
