Msitishwe: Uhuru rallies behind Gen Z’s fight against bad governance

Former president Uhuru Kenyatta has advised Gen Zs to continue with the fight against bad governance and fight for their rights.

Speaking during the burial of his cousin, veteran Safari Rally driver Kibathi Muigai in Gatundu South, Uhuru called on his daughter, Ngina, to join the Gen Z’s in the fight for good governance.

He said the generation that has kept the Kenya Kwanza government on toes since June last year is the story of the future and their fight is worth it.

“Fight for your rights, Gen Zs you are the story of the future. Do not accept to relax and allow people to take your wealth. Ensure you get what is rightfully yours. There is nothing that lasts forever. Everything is worth the fight and if you don’t fight for it and it is taken do not cry,” Uhuru said.

Uhuru called on the Gen Zs to stand firm and not allow anyone to take their hard-earned sweat

“Stand and fight for your rights. You can’t just stand there and let people take your hard-earned sweat. It does not go like that… Fight for your rights and be people who do not fear and you will go far,” he said.

“We do not have the energy now that is why we have relaxed but we are behind you and we will support you. You all have the energy to fight these people,” he added.

The former president’s remarks come at a time when Gen Zs and millennials who have been vocal are fearing for their lives and being abducted for rallying against President Ruto’s governance.

The former president said just like his friend who he did not mention, if abducted they’ll be left free at the end of the day.

The government and top security chiefs have denied being involved in abductions that have been going on in the country since June last year.
