The GenZs of Kenya you have inspired youths across Africa. Right now all the youths of Africa are watching at you. Should you succeed; Africa succeeds. You're the only hope. The revolution you've started is the beginning of removal of the current systems Colonizers put in place crafted to serve them only. The elders have betrayed you for the longest time. They continue to rule Africa with a mindset Africa still belongs to the Europeans. It's time to take back what's rightfully belongs to you. The GenZs of Kenya you've the Pride of Africa ❤❤.
💯💯💯 guys are setting the standards to theirs fellow youths. It's good to hear people are so concerned about their own country especially when matters related to finances
Should be the way forward, they are used to joking then hide behind their tribal kingpins and or do some stupid publicity shows to be reelected...hio ujinga inafaa kukoma kabisaa
your old leaders are eating with their stomachs full they cannot rectify the mess that feeds them, but the youths are starving with their stomach empty and that is why they are fighting the mess that starves them like "first lady's office".
Someone borrowed over 10 trillion loans between 2013-2022 with little to quantify - And what did we do? We kept quiet. He raised the cost of living to the levels never witnessed before - we kept quiet He raised the cost of 2kg Unga to between Ksh 230-250 - Still, we kept Quiet He Raised the cost of Sugar to Kshs. 450 - We were too silent. During his reign, a 6 kg cooking gas cost was hiked to Kshs. 1600 - We were very comfortable with it. As if that was not enough, he raised the cost of cooking oil with 1 litre going for Kshs. 500 50 Kg of Fertilizer went up to Kshs. 7,000 The inflation rate went up to 9% I can go on and on and on... Now Under President Ruto barely 2 years in office: A 50 Kg of fertilizer dropped to Kshs. 2500 from Kshs 7000 2 kg of Unga now ranging from kshs. 90- kshs. 135 1 Kg of Sugar is now Kshs 160 from Kshs 250 6 Kg of Cooking gas is now between KHs 1000-1200 1kg of cooking oil is now Kshs. 200 from Kshs- 500 The inflation rate dropped to 5% from 9 % His leadership has stabilized our dollar which was being artificially managed in the last regime and is now exchanging at Ksh 128.50 Talk of the job opportunities he has created within 2 years through Housing projects and labor export. Talk of Employment of Close to 50, 000 teachers on permanent & pensionable something that has never happened since independence. He has fixed our education sector which had millions of challenges. Talk of aligning the Health sector. Our economy which was almost going to the 'dogs' is now stable. we can also go on and on and on... Remember he's doing all this while paying loans someone else took yet we cannot account for. President Ruto is setting up our Nation for success but what do we do? we demonstrate All the contentious proposals that were in the Finance Bill 2024 were dropped. From my point of view, it's not about the Finance Bill 2024, someone has visualized the levels Kenya will be in the coming years and they don't like it. President Ruto will change this Nation, just watch this space.
Y@@djdilmuz6039 what a you trying to say changing kenya by creating offices of 50cas by awarding there wife's with billions creating office of first doughter.....carrying millions of money to churches to bribe pastors....... awarding hakina chebukat for... what a you real trying to explain to kenyans 😅😅😅 from 2013 he was in the same government with uhuru ...so nothing good from him ....travelling with millions of kenyans taxes allover the world...oh God have mercy with pple like you....😅😅😅
That's exactly how it should be; and how it works out there. No mercy on these people. They themselves campaigned for the office - hawakulazimishwa. We voted them in - to deliver. WE ourselves must apply moto to their seats 24/7. Anyone who can't take the heat or deliver, aanze kutafuta kazi kwa hizo ofisi za Nairobi.
Service to humanity should be a calling and not an opportunity for people to enrich themselves. Let the ones who have a heart and a calling to serve their fellow country men occupy those seats.
@@TheNationalist-w9vwhat do you mean? If you work properly as per the job you are vying for we won’t care about your salary. But if you can’t you deserve that lower salary. Considering our economic state
Wasn’t he listening when he wanted your votes ? I am sure he heard and made promises hence the reason he was voted in. So I am confused as to why you think he will listen now ?……..you think he feels guilty because of the loss of all those innocent lives ?. My grandmother used to say what gone bad in the morning will still be no good in the evening.
We are past listening. It’s been 2yrs since he took power and over 30er in Kenyan politics. Listening is not what we need from him. WE NEED HIM GONE!!!
The approach by Ruto should be acknowledged, we must admit that where we can have a conversation and try and see the best way forward for peace, it's a positive move by his exellency the president
kenya is no.1 in everything. all democracies are astonished.we dont agree with the prezzoo but our democracy is vibrant and participatory and we can question and engage.
And its high time the president shows people his success, cause akifanya maendeleo chini ya maji hatutajuwa his progress, am giving him the benefit of doubt
Congrats president Ruto by listening to gen z engaging them in a conversation to heal kenya🇰🇪to me is humility and accountability like a father figure it is well congrats to gen z the question you asked were mature and straight forward tukiendelea hivi kenya 🇰🇪will be peaceful 🙏🙏👆👆
🎉 wawuuuu Gen z vis Ruto His excellence William Ruto : 1. Advise now like social media Guy: taking measure of creating work to GEN z 2. Indemnity to GEN z 3. Free Visa when Gen z where ever you go 4. Introduce magufurization 5. Introduce tasks force against corruption faster 6. Made tasks force controls how Gen z leaders understand theirs willingly ideas in office of president and ministry of youth
Thank you very much gen-X for bringing this wonderful revolution. Accountability is NOT negotiable. Once one is in the public service they have to strictly serve the public. As for elective posts, the core mandate is clearly stipulated in the constitution; represent, oversight and legislate. Not an opportunity to enrich themselves.
The next thing we demand is reduction of salaries of MPs, Senators and all State Officers; abolishment of the office of Women Representatives through Constitutional Amendment and reduction of numbers of Principal Secretaries from 52 to 21- Each Ministry should have one Minister and one Principal Secretary. We don't need CAS
😅 Eish, vindu vichenjanga! Henceforth, no more engagement with wananchi while on top of those SUVs. Sasa ni X-Space! And in a weird twist of fate, Ruto now has a head-start on his competitors. Akina Raila, Kalonzo, Karua, Kioni ... better go for tutorials mapema-mapema. Dunia imeharibika.
Cut all salaries and allowances in half across the board! Kenya should attract manufacturers by offering zero taxes to companies that employ at least 1,000 domestic/local workers.
Na bado,, I preserve my questions next time that space will be too hot to handle. Kenya kwanza government we are watching you, any slight we fire because we have the right. They will not believe. They are not believing.
Honestly,i comment Mr President coming online to listen to Genz that was humility and listening Leader! Good job both Mr President and Gen z for the initiative it was necessary....Peace prevail in my motherland
the corrupt persons have infiltrated every corner of the nation...blaming it on Ruto is easier but a corrupt doctor in Mathare hospital is laughing hysterically in a dark corner...pinning it on the head of state is a start but every institution and corrupt individual should be hold accountable
moi governed this country without something called "first lady's office".What is the difference between such offices and "kapteon girls high school" that are just forests?

I am amazed. With all that zakayo has done, how he has behaved, etc he comes on space to meet Gen Zs and all of a sudden people are proclaiming him as faithful, loyal, humble, etc! Who bewitched as Kenyans! The only reason he did not sign the bill was due to pressure from the international community, including his western masters, after they saw the killings. All this is a game plan and to buy time, in his campaign trails in a few years he will be saying how he 'listened' to the Gen Zs. He cannot be trusted at all. Actually I hear he refused to meet them unless he is the one hosting the meeting...what does that tell you?
As usual, citizen only Focus negatives. Gladly we listened to the whole engagement and can make our own conclusions. The days of mainstream media gatekeeping issues are gone! Big up to social media 😂😂😂
Some of the Gen z were asking president ruto without answering his excellency president they are saying Mr president. They should have decorum when addressing head of state.
But you Kenyans, you have a president whose a coward for us in Uganda our president doesn’t just speak like to the nation. Our M7 speaks with extremely high brave confidence.
Everything Ruto says remains to be words. We are used to it. I don't see anything different. Just words we have been hearing for over 3 years even before he became president.

Not all foreign investors are good. Monsanto, BlackRock and Starlink if allowed to take over industries can be weaponized by the US state department

How so??
The police deserves to be detained then. Ruto is not competent
