Following President William Ruto’s surprise move to dissolve his entire cabinet, a group of youths popularly known as Generation Zs have vowed to keep pressing the government until all their demands are met.
The youths, who have been at the forefront of protests against the government, gathered in a virtual space to discuss their next move. They celebrated the dissolution of the cabinet as a victory, but emphasized that it is only the beginning of their fight for a better country.
“We have to be very petty, today we have had a win let us not get tired. We need to show them it is not business as usual,” said one of the listeners on the X Space.
The Gen Zs also demanded that all former Cabinet Secretaries be audited and held accountable if they had any cases going on. They expressed determination not to succumb to any games, saying President Ruto might be deterring them from their course.
“President Ruto is full of ‘cards’ we need to be sure which one he is playing, the first card we saw, he went and united with Raila, what is his endgame?” said another.
The youths also want a reshuffling of all Permanent Secretaries (PS) once the new CSs with clean track records are in as a step to fighting corruption. They believe that corruption is not limited to the national level and want to see similar reforms implemented in county governments.
“We are far from the end of it, after this, let us now look into The County government, it is where corruption is rampant,” they said.
The Gen Zs are hopeful that their protests are not in vain and will continue to push for change until their demands are met.
