  • The June protests, which put youth at the centre of national politics, were a wake-up call for the country - that all sovereign power belongs to the people.

The article from Nation.Africa discusses the significant impact of Generation Z (Gen Z) on Kenyan politics, particularly through their involvement in protests against the Finance Bill 2024. These protests, largely driven by young Kenyans, led to President William Ruto's decision to withdraw the bill, marking a pivotal moment in Kenyan political history. The youth, leveraging social media platforms like TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and Instagram, mobilized massive demonstrations that not only opposed the tax hikes proposed in the bill but also highlighted broader issues like governance, corruption, and economic inequality. The protests were characterized by their peaceful nature, creativity, and the use of digital tools for organization and expression. This movement has been described as a "youth revolt" that has changed the political landscape, forcing the government to listen to the voices of the younger generation, showcasing their potential to influence policy and governance in Kenya.
