The Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya (CIPK) urged the youth in the country to refrain from planned anti-government demonstrations for the sake of maintaining peace.

Speaking in Mombasa, the clerics also called for a comprehensive review of governors’ lifestyles, alleging excessive living. CIPK’s Organising Secretary Sheikh Mohammed Khalifa highlighted that President William Ruto has already addressed the demands of Generation Z by dismissing his entire Cabinet, in response to persistent calls for improved governance and the full implementation of the 2010 Kenya Constitution.

“The country has been in crisis for the past few weeks. The Gen-Z’s call for change has forced the president to make tough decisions, including withdrawing the Finance Bill and dissolving the cabinet,” said Sheikh Khalifa.

While acknowledging the ongoing push for further protests, Khalifa urged the youth to avoid violence to prevent further chaos.

We cannot afford another weak cabinet,” Khalifa asserted at a press briefing at the CIPK offices.
