Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua now says leaders who took advantage of Gen Z protests to settle political scores and push agendas are idiots.
Speaking during the funeral of Susan Wanjohi in Nyandarua, Laikipia County on Friday, July 26, 2024, the DP shamed all individuals who took advantage of the youth’s dissent to advance their political narratives. He noted that the individuals are worse than those who infiltrated peaceful protests to loot and create chaos.
“Let us remain united as a country, we have just gone through very difficult periods….those who took advantage of well intentioned peaceful protests to loot property to steal, to hurt, those are idiots; Those who are more idiotic are those who tried to take advantage of the whole scenario to settle political scores with those they don’t support or have a problem with…..trying to push on blame. Let people know that Kenyans are intelligent people. People of this country have come of age, they see from far they analyse and they know,” Gachagua said.
He additionally called on leaders to respect the citizens when fronting their opinions, as they (citizens) are intelligent enough to analyse and tell when things are wrong.
