Robert Alai, HSC, cautioned President Ruto against associating himself with a number of influential politicians in a recent tweet, citing their potential to spark instability in the country. In his tweet, Alai included a graphic that referred to some politicians as "ring leaders of the people's enemies," alleging that they had supported the unpopular Finance Bill and were cruel to Generation Z.
The Leader of the Majority, Kimani Ichung'wah, who has come under fire for his severe tactics against demonstrators and his classification of them as criminals, is one of those featured. Alai points out that Ichung'wah has been charged with employing harsh bill traps and speaking negatively about Generation Z.
Also cited for his tough stance on protest management is CS Interior Kithure Kindiki, who allegedly dispatched police to quell Gen Z protestors while threatening to use deadly force if the demonstrations persisted. Chief Whip Sylvanus Osoro has also been under fire for his disparaging remarks on Generation Z, characterizing them as "foolish, useless, and nobodies." The Thika Town MP, Alice Ng'ang'a, came under fire for her demeaning comments directed at the younger demonstrators, calling them ignorant and threatening to call the police.
The president should disregard the protests of Generation Z, according to Annie Wamuratha, the Kiambu Woman Representative, who compared them to "modern-day Mungiki" and questioned their upbringing. The Senate Majority Leader, Aron Cheruiyot, has been under fire for labeling members of Generation Z as "idiots" and minimizing their worries.
Gatundu North MP Elijah Kururia is seen as conceited and haughty, belittling young people's financial hardships and making fun of their incapacity to purchase frivolities. The MP for Kapsaret, Oscar Sudi, is called "illiterate" for his contemptuous remarks directed at the youth, while the MP for Gatundu South, G.G. Kagombe, is charged of belonging to a "Illuminati group" that wants to kill Gen Z protestors.
Ruto has received a clear warning from Alai: "Get rid of these people because they will burn the country." Rule over them or perish quickly! Hold onto them at your own risk!" This tweet highlights the growing gulf between the younger generation and the government, mirroring deeper tensions in society and advocating for more inclusive and compassionate leadership.
