Senators have barred all politicians from personalizing public projects by branding them with their names and photos, terming the practice a misuse of taxpayer funds.
They proposed that all publicly funded projects be labeled as 'Courtesy of Taxpayers of Kenya'.
After being out in the streets, I couldn't help but think. Eventually, like all movements born of urgency and discontent, the "Gen Z" uprising will have to grow up. And by growing up, I do not mean losing its fire , but rather finding a form. The kind of form that history demands of all resistance: organisation, structure, coherence. It is not enough to feel deeply or to shout loudly. One must decide what to do with that feeling, where to place that shout.
And soon, the question will no longer be what are we fighting against? but what are we building instead?
That is when the divergence will come.
There will be the moderates , intelligent, well-intentioned, perhaps more patient. They will speak of institutions, political parties, ballots, and courtrooms. They will name people like Omtatah, like Maraga people who believe that change can be negotiated within the existing architecture. They will be dismissed by some as naive, as too comfortable, too careful.
And there will be the revolutionaries no less intelligent, but shaped by a different kind of urgency. They will speak not of reform but of rupture. They will see the system as inherently broken, perhaps even illegitimate. They will not want to wait for laws to catch up with justice. Their voices will be louder, angrier, and more poetic in their dissatisfaction.
This division , because it will be a division , is not new. It is the story of every freedom movement. And it is rarely tidy.
But what matters, what will always matter, is how this moment is remembered. Whether it becomes just another swell of discontent that flattens under the weight of its own contradictions or whether it becomes a reckoning that dares to hold both rage and imagination.
The danger is not in disagreement. The danger is in forgetting that the other side, too, wants to matter. That both the moderate and the radical are trying, in their own way, to build a world where dignity is not a privilege but a given.
There will be no perfect path. There never is. But perhaps the work now is to learn to argue without fracturing. To lead without condescension. To dream without erasure.
And to remember that all movements ,like all people ,are at their most powerful not when they are certain, but when they are honest.

@MihrThakar I got very angry for a moment but immediately remembered I filed my taxes on June 6 and got a receipt from KRA showing they actually owe me money.
They're fishing big time. Desperado!
KRA systems just wake up one day and decide hey! Why don't we just bill guys some random figures, offer them a waiver and an amnesty period then see how many of them can send something! Like some shitty social experiment that could actually pay.
The Senate has prohibited Governors and Members of County Assemblies from branding public projects and government vehicles with messages that seek to promote individual identities.
