Kalonzo while addressing mourners in Machakos County, accused the former Interior CS of allegedly calling the Gen Z protesters criminals during his vetting session at the National Assembly.
The Azimio principal termed Kindiki’s sentiments as unethical, claiming the youthful protesters only demanded accountability from the government.
“The main reason the youths are complaining is that the same person who allowed their shooting during the protests was nominated to the cabinet,” Kalonzo stated.
“He appeared before the vetting committee and called them criminals. He is calling our children criminals and that they invaded parliament,” Kalonzo added.
Kalonzo further alleged bias in the process of vetting the cabinet nominees, claiming that despite the immense scrutiny, they would still be approved for the cabinet positions.
“And despite using such a term he will still be approved to be a CS because he has a majority of MPs who will back him up,” Kalonzo alleged.
“Our take is that we do not have faith in Ruto’s nominees because some of them have controversial histories. We are happy that corruption within the government has been tamed, thanks to the Gen Zs.”
Kalonzo also put governors on notice warning that the youths were closely watching their actions. “The youths will expose you to your expenditure,” Kalonzo stated.
The remarks by Kalonzo Musyoka come two days after the former Interior CS appeared before the National Assembly’s Committee on Appointments for vetting.

“The police did their best and if any officers went beyond what is allowed in terms of use of force its up to IPOA and other accountability organizations to help the country come to closure of the matter,” Kindiki stated...CONTINUE READING>>
