Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has called on Gen Z to continue fighting for their rights, barely two months after a symbolic ‘handshake’ with President William Ruto.
While speaking during the burial of his cousin veteran rally driver Kibathi Muigai on Friday, Uhuru did not hide his thoughts over the rising influence of Kenyan youth on political discourse.
Uhuru, who has shied away from speaking on politics since he left office in 2022, asked the youth to continue fighting for their rights.
“The problem of people nowadays is people are afraid. Gen Zs are the story of the future. Fight for your rights. Fight to ensure you are getting what is rightfully yours,” he urged.
He went on to add, “Don’t stand and watch as your wealth is taken from you. Everything is worth fighting for. If you do not fight for it, don’t cry if it is taken away.”
