Businessman Khalif Kairo |
Businessman Khalif Kairo is out here advising the youth against going to the streets today.
In a video shared on his socials, Kairo argues that most of the demands made by the Gen Zs have been met by President William Ruto and his Kenyan Kwanza regime.
However, the video has landed him in trouble with a section of his followers. Many have lectured him with reminders that he had vowed not to comment on the ongoing protests.
Others asked him to refrain from commenting because he no longer believes in what the youth are championing.
“I’m going to give you three reasons as to why you should not go to the streets today.
Most of the objectives that we were fighting for have been met. The key was the finance bill and they have already withdrawn it. The whole Cabinet has gone home, IG Koome has resigned and now the president is saying Kazi Mtaani is coming back. So I’m going to appeal that we give it other different approaches and see if they will work,” Kairo said.
In his second point, Kairo argues that not everybody taking part in the protest is genuine.
