‘Political class is under threat’ – Salasya says over dialogue proposal
Mumias East Member of Parliament (MP) Peter Salasya says the political class is under threat following the revolution by the millennials and Generation Zs (Gen Zs).
In a statement shared on his socials pages, on Wednesday, July 10, 2024, Salasya stated that a section of politicians are making dispensation decisions due to the new wave of the revolutionists.
"The relentless spirit had sent a signal to the political class to register or be swallowed by young people. The political class is under threat. They are not understanding the dispensation they are walking in," Salasya said.
"Every political decision they make right now is like a hot potato." 
Revolution
The legislator further encouraged the millennials and Gen Zs not to give up on their desire for change adding that the move has taken the country fifty years and they cant afford to lose the battle.
He added that he is proud of the young people's understanding of political leadership adding that their call for technocrats in leadership is commendable.
"This move has taken 50 years and if we get lost again it will take time, maybe for alpha to change this nation. It's now or never. But what makes me happy as a young leader who is performing so well on the ground is that the young people now have understood their political leaders so well and they now want technocrats in the leadership. Young people ongezeni moto kidogo jikoni or you get scattered and lose focus," Salasya said.
National Dialogue
on Tuesday, July 9, 2024, Azimio la Umoja One Kenya collation Raila Odinga called for national dialogue to address the current crisis facing the country.
Speaking during the signing of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Bill into law, Raila said that dialogue is the only solution that will deal with the fundamental issues that are currently affecting the country.
“We are happy to confirm that we have had consultations and have agreed that a dialogue is the way forward out of the crisis that we are facing in the country. We have agreed to give people an opportunity to express themselves to come out with the problems that are ailing our country today so that a lasting solution can be found," Raila said.
"Because of the limitation and restriction of the resources we have agreed that everybody else will bear the cost of coming to this meeting but we want it to be a very engaging conversation. We agree on the way forward that we deal with the fundamental issues that are affecting our society today.”
