Dear GenZ and the Kenyan youth in general,
Revolution is a process. And it cannot be limited to change of Political leadership. It could also just be about a change in Political organization. A change in methods of operation can also be revolutionary. YOU achieved a revolutionary goal on 25th June 2024.A change in the conventional way of doing things is a major revolutionary achievement.
But that achievement aside, our most important challenge ahead is to sustain this momentum. Democracy is not just about getting the right people into office. Even right people get hungry. And sometimes lose their moral compasses. The most important feature of democracy is the appropriation of sovereign power by the people. We achieved that on 25th June. Now we need to.sustain the pressure. Occupants of public office must be reminded at all times that they are servants of the people. Not the bosses. And please don't leave the Counties out. Because Counties are today's epicentres of corruption and primitive accumulation of wealth. With tax payers money getting invested in moribund non income generating enterprises that will eventually rot away the way Mobutu's palaces degerated.
Sustaining the pressure is important because old habits die hard. Corruption does have very strong teeth. It bites back. We need to press the advantage we have right now,sustain the onslaught on bad leadership practices and keep leadership on its toes so that the corrupt get afraid of taking up government appointments. . Stick to measurable, achievable goals. Because if you introduce the impossible, your struggles to achieve will expose your weaknesses which they will then use to divide you for easy manageability.
Never ever give thought to conversations about dialogue. Because History has proven that dialogue in this country simply denotes creation of extra seats at the feeding trough. That option should not be part of the revolution. The onus is on you young people to remain anonymous and keep the crooks on their toes until 2027. That too is revolutionary.
And in the meantime, you are the largest voting block in the country today. Take time and Register to vote in 2027 in large numbers because it's only with your numbers and participation that we can make the loudest statement to political aspirants in 2027.

And even though today I will miss fumbling gaffes of the farmer from Meru, I will not relax until the new Cabinet is named. I'd hate to be happy today just to have to deal with the eventuality of that crass illiterate braggart from the hills as a CS!!!
By the way Solomon M Omutsani
Please help us understand why the only man left standing is the occupier of the Unconstitutional office?
