A section of Gen z took to the streets of Eldoret on Wednesday rallying in support of the re-appointment of former Roads Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen to the Cabinet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The protest comes a few days after a section of youths in the town cut a cake in celebration of Murkomen’s dismissal from cabinet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carrying placards emblazoned with messages of support for the CS, the youths marched along Kisumu Road, making their way toward the town’s central business district. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their journey, however, was halted near Brookside Dairy by local police forces, who swiftly moved in to disperse the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We urge the President to re-appoint Murkomen because he has proven his capability and dedication. His work speaks for itself,” one of the leaders of the group stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the protestors, the former CS has delivered to their expectation and want the president to reconsider reappointing him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The youth expressed their solidarity with the President’s assertion that recent nationwide protests had been influenced by international NGOs, including the Ford Foundation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After delivering a series of impassioned speeches, the group chose to disperse peacefully, avoiding further confrontation with the authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The youths’ chants clearly demonstrated their political alignment and support for President William Ruto amidst nationwide protests by other Gen Z youths demanding the president’s resignation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
