Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has issued a compelling call to action for Kenya’s youth, particularly Generation Z, urging them to actively defend their rights and hard-earned achievements. Speaking at the funeral of his cousin, veteran rally driver Kibathi Muigai, Kenyatta emphasized the importance of resilience and courage among young people.
Addressing his daughter Ngina directly, he stated, “The problem with you is that you have become afraid, even you Ngina join the others because Gen Z is the story of the future. Fight for your rights and stop just sitting around while your hard-earned sacrifice is taken away. Fight until justice is served because nothing lasts forever.”
Kenyatta’s remarks come amid rising concerns over the increasing number of abductions targeting government critics, with several individuals reported missing or kidnapped in recent months.
He further encouraged the youth by saying, “There is no need to be afraid; we, the elders, are the ones who should be afraid, but you have the energy to fight these people. We are fully behind you; continue in that manner.”
This passionate appeal underscores the vital role of young Kenyans in shaping the nation’s future and safeguarding democratic principles.
