Two years ago to the date, these gentlemen politely picked me up from the local bar. The next day at a time like this, I was getting my balls massaged not very gently in a dungeon somewhere in the Karen/Ngong areas.Two years down the line, Kenya is in an even worse state than it was when we were out in the streets fighting for change in 2024.
Gen Z did more than reject a Finance Bill, they rewired our politics. From TikTok spaces to court corridors, they disrupted the old script of tribal mobilisation and elite bargains by insisting that public power answer to constitutional principle and economic justice. Their leaderless, tribeless, crowd-sourced organising exposed how quickly informed citizens can fact-check officials, decode bills and turn legalese into rallying cries for accountability. In doing so, they reminded the country that Article 1 is not a slogan but a living reality. All sovereign power belongs to the people, and those who exercise it do so on terms.
Gen Z forced courts to speak faster, MPs to apologise and an Executive that had grown tone-deaf to finally listen. They made institutions feel public pressure in real time and showed that silence in the face of abuse of power is a professional and generational betrayal. Our duty now is to entrench that energy into institutions and not let it fade with the news cycle. If Gen Z could reclaim the streets and the digital public square, the least we can do is ensure that their courage is translated into lasting legal, policy and cultural reform, not another round of cosmetic concessions.
As this moment continues to unfold, let it also be guided by responsibility. Stay safe, remain peaceful and look out for one another. The strength of a movement is not only in its conviction but in its discipline and care for human life. Be each other’s keepers because the future we are demanding must also be one we protect.
