Why 'GenZ' will stand up for justice more than anyone else

We, adults, have stereotyped poor young people from informal settlements as the only ones who come out to protest because they are mobilised by politicians. The protest disapproved of this tired narrative. We have now a reality check.

The young protesters also deconstructed the fallaciously held one-story narrative that only Baba (Raila Odinga) can successfully call for protests. In turning this narrative on its head, the GenZ has sounded an alarm that the chapter on ethnic politics in Kenya has concluded. Wrong policies affect Kenyans regardless of their origin. What a humbling lesson for us adults who have shamelessly rewarded our tribemates at the expense of other Kenyans!
