Lusaka to GenZ: Embrace dialogue, not protests
Bungoma Governor Kenneth Lusaka has called on youths to embrace dialogue, asserting that their concerns have been clearly communicated and the government must now respond.
Speaking at Kibuk Girls in Mt. Elgon on Friday, June 28 during a fundraiser for the school’s infrastructural development, Lusaka acknowledged the legitimacy of the grievances raised by Gen Z protesters, sparked by the contentious 2024 Finance bill.
He emphasized the need for constructive conversations to address these issues effectively.
“While the right to protest is fundamental, open dialogue could pave the way for more effective and lasting solutions,” Lusaka stated.
The event, presided over by the President’s Advisor on Women’s Affairs, Harriet Chiggai, and attended by First Lady Dr. Margaret Makelo, highlighted Lusaka’s appeal for mutual understanding and resolution through dialogue.
