As protests against the finance bill 2024 get worse around the nation, a video of Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta warning the nation about the potential of the youth—known to many as Gen Z—has appeared online. In the now-viral video, the former head of state can be heard warning his colleagues about the possible repercussions of mishandling Generation Z.
"Young people are the biggest problem facing this country," Uhuru said, tone and countenance serious. He claims that the country's high youth population is a ticking time bomb that, if improperly controlled, might blow this country to pieces. Uhuru said that the children should be handled carefully since they are a menace to everyone, no matter what neighborhood they are in. Everything will rely on how they are treated.
"Our youth comprise our second principal concern. Again, let us not fool ourselves—these are our kids. Our youth bulge has the capacity to set off a time bomb that will devastate this country if allowed uncontrolled. It is something that needs to be treated very carefully. Not only this community or that one, but all of us are impacted by that issue. But we have to be careful about how we handle it. We cannot manipulate them by agitating them." Uhuru says this in the widely shared video.
There have been differing opinions among Kenyans over this movie; some claim that even though Uhuru predicted this moment, many did not think he was real. Now that the revolution has started, people are starting to wish they had followed Uhuru's advise earlier. Uhuru's counsel has been neglected by leaders in the past. Now that he warned Kenyans not to elect Ruto, they are regretting not listening to him.
