“This young generation, feeling leaderless and without party affiliation, has taken it upon themselves to demand change. Their leaderless and partyless stance underscores a deep disillusionment with traditional political structures, seeking to carve out a new path that truly represents their interests and aspirations.
“These protests reflect their frustration and discontent, highlighting the urgent need for meaningful reforms and responsive governance to address the underlying issues and restore public confidence,” Tifa stated.
Further, the report indicated that 67 percent of Kenyans support President William Ruto’s move to dissolve the cabinet with 20 percent slightly supporting it, the other 13 percent don’t support the move at all.
