Social media has become their battleground. #RejectTheFinanceBill, a rallying cry that unites them across the digital divide. Their stories, shared online, paint a vivid picture of how this bill threatens their dreams. The message is clear, their voices are too loud to be ignored.

This isn’t just about a piece of legislation; it’s about a future on the line. Gen Z deserves a shot at building a good life, the one they were promised. They envision a Kenya where opportunity isn’t reserved for the privileged few, but a place where everyone has a chance to thrive.

The government must listen. These protests are more than just noise; they’re a clear call for change. Kenya’s young people aren’t just the future, they’re the changemakers of today. Their fight for a better tomorrow is a song of hope, a melody that will not be silenced until their dreams take flight.
