Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i believes young people's anger reveals major problems with Kenya's leadership. He made these comments after attending church services at Presbyterian Church of East Africa located in Thika town. Matiang'i stated that leaders have failed citizens and continue pointing fingers at each other. The Jubilee Party presidential candidate said any person can see the country faces serious troubles. He noted that citizens remain unhappy with current conditions.
Government and opposition leaders refuse to accept blame for ongoing problems according to Matiang'i. These officials should inspire public trust but instead make people more angry. The former cabinet secretary criticized how investigations proceed at a slow pace. Poor investigation work leads to government officials making statements that sound ridiculous to the public. Leaders make claims that blame certain communities for causing trouble during protests.
Matiang'i questioned whether officials believe only people from specific counties participated in recent demonstrations. He asked if leaders think no residents from Murang'a or Nyeri counties joined the protests. The former interior minister wants politicians to stop campaign activities for the moment. He urged all leaders to cooperate and find answers to problems that young Generation Z citizens have raised. Matiang'i believes working together will help address concerns about government accountability and leadership that youth continue demanding.
