ACK Archbishop Ole Sapit has welcomed Generation Z to the church, urging them to engage in dialogue and share the country by listening to one another. During a service on Sunday in Nyahururu, Ole Sapit emphasized the importance of discerning what Gen Z is expressing, describing this period as a time for listening rather than talking.
“We do say we want to listen to you. What is happening is something unexpected and extraordinary. The Gen Zs have no tribe, no religion, no class, but they are our children, not enemies of the nation,” he stated.
He also called on the police to refrain from using excessive force against protesters and encouraged Gen Z to abide by the law during their demonstrations.
“Let us be civil every one of us,” Ole Sapit said.
At the same time, President William Ruto expressed pride in the young people for stepping forward tribeless and peacefully to be counted. He acknowledged their actions as part of their democratic duty and assured that his administration will engage with them to address their concerns.
The President emphasized that, in collaboration with the youth, his government aims to work towards building a better country.
“Our young people have stepped forward to engage in the affairs of their country. They have done a democratic duty to stand and be recognized and I want to tell you that we are going to have a conversation with you so that we can identify your issues and we can work together as a nation and streamline your issues,” Ruto said.
“I am very proud of our young people. They have stepped forward tribeless, they have stepped forward peacefully and I want to tell them we are going to engage so that together we can build a better nation. What I want to encourage them is that we are concerned about their issues.”
