The President of Kenya has apologized to Gen Z

On May 28, 2025, President William Ruto asked the youth for forgiveness. He wanted to signal a conciliatory approach toward the 2027 elections. Young people in Kenya are expected to make up more than half of the electorate. All political parties are vying for their votes. What happened that prompted the president to apologize? https://afrikamonamour.blogspot.com/2025/05/blood-parliament-and-william-rutos.html The president emphasized the importance of unity and declared: "Where there is unity, God commands his blessings." Unity will likely no longer exist; that will likely remain a pipe dream. After many deaths and kidnappings, no investigation has been conducted to date, and certainly no consequences have been decided upon. This apology he issued is very strange. Not long ago, he announced that he had nothing to do with it. There are reports of his reactions and statements regarding protests and political tensions that suggest he is distancing himself from certain negative events or not directly responsible for them. Of course, he has to do it! He, the president, has nothing to do with it! He could have spoken out and had the perpetrators arrested, but that's not possible. "To our children: If there has been a misstep, we apologize," he said, addressing the country's young people—commonly known as Generation Z—who have repeatedly challenged his government. "If the president truly apologizes to the young people, he should go to Kenyatta Hospital, apologize to them personally, and settle their accounts," said Maanzo, Daniel Kitonga Maanzo, a Kenyan politician and lawyer, on the television show. The whole thing is a diversion. The election is approaching, and the latest poll showed William Ruto supported by 9 percent of respondents. Everything that happened during his time in office is his fault, and no one can take that away from him.  @https://www.the-star.co.ke/news/2025-05-29-politicians-clash-over-rutos-apology-to-gen-z @https://www.aljazeera.com/videos/2017/8/5/youth-make-majority-of-kenyas-electorate @https://prafulkr.wordpress.com/2009/06/22/bhumihars-and-their-impact-on-bihar-and-india/comment-page-7/
