The history of Generation Z in Kenya is deeply connected to events from the 1980s, and understanding this history is vital for shaping a better future. We cannot fully know who we are without learning from those who came before us. In his book Facing Mount Kenya, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta discusses the cultural foundation of the Kikuyu people and their role in Kenya’s leadership. Over time, political strategies evolved, especially from the early 1980s, and these decisions have influenced our current society in many ways.
70 % of the Genz generation has a history of every child with a different father from the same mother.Today, we see challenges such as weakened family structures, loss of cultural values, and political manipulation through Genz by a specific tribe called kikuyu in kenya. These are not issues for one community alone—they affect all of us as a nation. We must address them with wisdom and unity. I believe Generation Z needs deeper reflection on its values and choices. Let us not follow trends blindly without understanding our history. Sisi tumeumia kwa hii mikono ya uongozi wa hawa wakikuyu. I fear less to speak the truth from my heart.
To the women of Kenya, Please do not be misused by politicians… you will be raped politically, financially, and physically. Empowerment is essential, but it must not be used as a tool for political gain. I warn women against following Martha karua and the kikuyu trend blindly. I urge women to be cautious of political manipulation. Empowerment should be genuine and rooted in long-term benefits, not short-term political gains. Let us learn from other African nations where division has caused great harm. True gender equality means opportunity, not exploitation. Huyo martha karua malaya ajue tuko na yeye hapa kwa hapa. Alifukuzwa Tanzania na mwanamke mwenzake na sababu. Asipeleke ujinga ya kenya ya Gender equality Tanzania tena.
My appeal to Generation Z is this: do not let history repeat itself. Learn your heritage, make informed choices, and build a Kenya that reflects integrity, unity, and progress for all.
