Today, June 25, 2024, is Day Five of the Seven Days of Rage announced following last week's initial round of Gen Z protests ostensibly focused on the Finance Bill 2024 but largely an expression of frustration directed specifically at the Ruto administration that essentially promised young people (hustlers) a different life from what it is serving them.

We do not need to go too far back into history to understand the administration's response; first as tragedy, then as farce.
