Kenyan Youth Leader Ken Babu Speaks Out: Gen Z Won’t Be Fooled by Old Tricks

  • Ken Babu warns that the government is using outdated tactics from the YK ’92 era.
  • He says youth are being misused to polish a broken political system and confuse Gen Z voters.
  • Points out that Gen Z is educated, united, and determined to lead change.
  • Blames the government for using force against peaceful protesters and losing moral direction.
  • Calls on all youth to register for IDs and voter cards to take charge of their future.

Youth leader Ken Babu has openly condemned what he calls a replay of YK ’92-style politics by President Ruto’s administration. He claims the government is wasting public funds to promote a few young loyalists in order to split the youth vote, especially targeting Gen Z.

Gen Z Won’t Be Misled

According to Babu, today’s youth are not easy to trick. He says this generation is smart, exposed, and ready to question authority. The kind of manipulation that worked in the 90s, he adds, has no place in today’s Kenya.

June 25th Changed Everything

Babu recalls June 25th, 2024, as the day the government used force on peaceful protestors—mostly young people. He says that moment marked the end of Kenya Kwanza’s moral leadership in the eyes of the youth.

One Term Is Enough

He believes that since that day, young Kenyans made a quiet but bold choice: that this government does not deserve a second chance. The call is loud and clear—one term is enough.

A Generation Under Pressure

The youth leader highlights daily struggles—joblessness, poverty, and high cost of living—saying the system has failed to support young people’s dreams. But instead of losing hope, he insists the youth must rise and take control.

ID and Voter Card: Tools for Real Change

Babu is urging all youth, especially Gen Z, to go and register for National IDs and ensure they get their voter cards. He says these are not just papers, but powerful tools to kick out poor leadership.

Message to Youth Working With the Regime

He doesn’t spare those who have accepted government tokens to mislead their fellow youth. “You may earn now, but history will judge you,” Babu warns.

Wrapping up, Babu says Kenya doesn’t need fake reforms or flashy campaigns. The country needs a serious, people-driven transformation—and Gen Z is the generation to make it happen
