Wiper Democratic Movement party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has continued with his support for Gen Z after praising them again for their protest against the government.
Kalonzo has been one of the most vocal anti-Kenya Kwanza critics and, in most cases, has stood with the youth, who have kept increasing the pressure against the government.
In a post on X released on Sunday, July 21, 2024, the former Mwingi North Member of Parliament (MP) said the youth have taken back the country from the clutches of the ruling party and that their relentless consistency should be lauded.
“Presiding Bishop Akiki Muyu, what you have done today at The Gospel Tabernacle Church, South B, Nairobi, is prophetic. We have gotten back what belongs to us, and we praise the Almighty God.
“Gen Z has also taken our country back from the clutches of the KK (Kenya Kwanza) regime using our Constitution. They have been reminding us of the Preamble of our Constitution, and we thank them for their unrelenting consistency.
“They have brought a spirit of reawakening to Kenya. It is truly amazing, and we give God all the glory,” the 2007 presidential candidate said.
Before President William Ruto announced his first batch of cabinet nominees, Kalonzo led a section of the Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya alliance in denouncing any move to form a broad-based government with the Kazi ni Kazi party.
Opposition to broad government
In a press release on Friday, July 19, 2024, the Wiper Party chief, alongside Eugene Wamalwa and Jubilee’s Jeremiah Kioni, said forming a national unity government with Kenya Kwanza is tantamount to betrayal of Gen Z.
“This is a betrayal of the Kenyan people, particularly Gen Z and millennials, who have paid the ultimate price to rid this country of the disastrous Kenya Kwanza regime, their harsh taxes (Finance Bill 2023/2024), corruption, tribalism, unemployment, and the continued high cost of living.
“We shall not join for the straightforward reason that such actions are a betrayal of the ideology, values, and tenets of both our coalition party and our constituent parties. As long as the Kenya Kwanza regime remains in place, absolutely nothing will change. A cabinet re-organisation and changing of office holders will only be cosmetic,” the Azimio section of leaders said then, as Raila Odinga was missing.
With Ruto set to nominate more into his cabinet and Gen Z planning for more protests, the moves and utterances of the opposition leaders will be watched closely.
