Update: Here Is The Full Statement From Raila Odinga Amid Gen Z’s Planned Protest

UPDATE: Opposition leader Raila Odinga letter TO THE YOUNG, RESILIENT GENERATION OF OUR NATION(GEN Z). I would like to address you this morning. I agree that JUSTICE must come first before any talks. Towards this end I stand with you that there must be:

  • Compensation for every victim of police brutality
  • Dismissal of all protest-related cases
  • Release of all abductees and those in jail
  • Resolution of outstanding healthcare (healthcare workers’ welfare) and education (JSS Teachers) grievances
  • A reverting of our public healthcare insurance back to NHIF and to discard SHIF
  • A prosecution of all security sector perpetrators who’ve facilitated atrocities on peaceful Kenyans.

Once these issues are resolved, we can focus on a National Conversation, and conducted transparently in a neutral venue.

It is my proposal that representatives for this convention should come from various sectors including youth, government, religious leaders, health care professionals, lawyers, and teachers. We must come together to discuss national and constitutional critical issues touching on the following.

  • Good governance
  • Skyrocketing cost of living
  • Eradicating tribalism
  • Fighting corruption
  • Debt and fiscal management

To the young people of Kenya, you all must know that I am deeply moved by your dedication to the cause; and I believe a structured dialogue will bring the reforms you are fighting for and safe guard Kenya for your future.
