President William Ruto launched a fierce attack against political leaders who manipulate young Kenyans for personal gain. The head of state delivered his scathing remarks from State House on Wednesday while addressing rising concerns about youth involvement in destructive activities. Ruto slammed unnamed politicians for dragging teenagers and young adults into dangerous situations that result in violence and chaos. The president expressed heartbreak over reports linking political figures to incidents involving property damage and criminal behavior. He accused these leaders of having zero concrete plans for helping Kenya's younger generation succeed.
Ruto blasted politicians who claim to represent Generation Z while secretly plotting to exploit them for electoral advantages. The president connected recent protest violence directly to these manipulative political figures who encourage destructive behavior among impressionable youth. He pointed to burned businesses and injured protesters as evidence of how certain leaders misuse young people for political theater. Ruto insisted that Kenya offers plenty of legitimate opportunities for ambitious young citizens to build better futures. The president urged youth to reject advances from politicians who cannot articulate real development strategies.
Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku joined the president's campaign against youth manipulation by political actors and religious leaders. Ruku warned against dividing young Kenyans along tribal lines while emphasizing national unity principles. The official stressed that Kenya remains one country with shared values despite attempts to create ethnic divisions among youth. His comments came as protests involving primarily young demonstrators continue affecting various regions. Both leaders called for protecting impressionable citizens from exploitation by opportunistic political figures.
