When David Ndii calls young people stupid, telling them that they will die in the streets like the many we have lost in previous protests, it shows how far removed the people in the government are from the reality on the ground. Ndii ideally should know better, but even fools grow old. To understand how we ended up with Gen Z protests, one has to read @TweetingPundit 's Generation Occupy, one of the most definitive and instructive books about that crazy June of 2024. Ruto entered State House at the worst possible time for anyone to be the president of Kenya. The country has been collapsing under the weight of corruption, bad choices, wrong priorities, and whoever was going to take over in 2022 had little room for jokes. 2022 needed a completely different mindset of politics. Not Oscar Sudi or Kimani Ichungwa type of brainlessness. Not wheelbarrows. Not rallies. Not PR. As Okolla explains in his book, the stalled upward mobility of millennials and the failure to launch of Gen Z are the biggest existential angst in the country. The government doesn't get this. At all. President Kibaki let the genie out of the bottle by showing the immense potential that Kenya has. For the first time, we could dream big. During his presidency, everything suddenly became possible. Finishing college, getting a job, buying land in Nairobi satellite towns, and building your maisonette, all markers of adulthood were possible up to 2015. We took a wrong turn in 2013. I take this early opportunity to remind you to pick leaders less interested in building their personal fortune and pick people who have conquered that primitive greed of material things. Someone who knows what is enough. Someone who doesn't convert the country into personal property, without caring that resources are finite to be shared responsibly and equitably. Most millenials lost their jobs, their marriages, and many have been auctioned. Career growth is now a myth. The business environment is toxic, choking under stupid taxes, silly regulations, high costs of production, and running. Gen Zs have been less lucky. More than half of them graduating from college can't get employment. And there is no possibility that their fortunes of changing as long as long as William Ruto is the president. All Ruto's projects will never translate to anything substantive, besides his bank account fattening. Everyone knows this, including government bloggers. Okolla says it right. When you are a 25-year-old graduate, no job, your older sibling who is almost 30 has never been employed, dad never finished building that house in Kitengela, and now he has a debilitating lifestyle disease that is draining the family resources, you have every right to show up and demonstrate. There is no way out. We have more than 5 million young people who are restless, jobless, and have no hope. Guns will not stop them. Military tanks will not stop them. Until the government understands the generational nightmarish existence of millennials and Gen Z, they will never know peace. For those who want to understand why the young are restless, please grab the book pale @NuriaStore-Your Store or call 0774229705 for your copy. There is no excuse for ignorance.

Kenya: Beware of the deliberate efforts vy the Kenya Kwanza government to launch ethnic conflicts in our country. It began with the profiling of Somalis. Now it is the Mungiki that is even being unleashed on the church. we must unite against the destruction of our country and particularly the polarization that is at work. Let us keep documenting and sending these incidents to the @ICC
