You have only yourself to blame, Nyanza leaders tell RutoNyanza leaders now say President William Ruto has himself to blame for the June 25 Gen Z uprising that culminated in angry protesters invading Parliament.

If anything, he argued, it was because of their blood that President Ruto was able to realise how unpopular the 2024 Finance Bill was and ultimately reject it. The lawmaker explained that President Ruto can solve the mess in the education sector and unemployment among the younger generation by shunning tribalism, corruption and eliminating waste in government. Mr Omogeni wants President Ruto to urgently do a self-retrospection to know where he lost his way as all the woes are “self-inflicted”.
