The Legacy of Fear: How the Shadow of Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Shaped Kenya's Political Landscape In the annals of Kenya's political history, the events of 1969 stand out as a defining moment marked by fear, coercion, and manipulation. The political tension surrounding Jaramogi Oginga Odinga's candidature led to a series of oath-taking ceremonies in Gatundu that forever altered the fabric of Kenyan society. Understanding this historical context is crucial, especially when contemporary politicians attempt to invoke these dark chapters for political gain. The Fear of Jaramogi and the Birth of the Gatundu Oath The roots of the infamous Gatundu oath can be traced back to the fear and propaganda surrounding Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, the former vice-president and then-leader of the opposition. By 1969, the political landscape in Kenya was charged with tension. The assassination of Cabinet Minister Tom Mboya on 5th July 1969 had already set a volatile backdrop. Within this context, Pr...

Kalonzo Musyoka Warns: Gen Z Could Overthrow Us All if We Aren’t Careful



In a stirring address at the KICC this morning, Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka voiced a stark warning to President William Ruto about the rising discontent among Kenya’s youth, particularly Generation Z. The former Vice President cautioned that if the older generation does not heed the concerns of the youth, they risk being overthrown.
"Gen Z will wipe all of us out if we are not careful," Musyoka declared. "They are saying they have come of age... You say we are leaders of tomorrow, but they are the leaders of now. We can't wish them away."
Musyoka's remarks came during the signing of the IEBC bill into law by President Ruto. He emphasised the urgent need for the President to address the recommendations of the NADCO report, a document prepared by a committee co-chaired by Musyoka himself.
He also urged President Ruto to take decisive action against the Inspector General of Police, Japhet Koome, following the tragic deaths of 42 young Kenyans during peaceful protests.
"Order IG Japhet Koome to resign and take responsibility for the deaths of the 42 young Kenyans who lost their lives exercising their constitutional rights to peaceably assemble, demonstrate, and picket," Musyoka demanded. "Mr President, the Army should be ordered off our streets and sent back to the barracks."




These comments follow weeks of intense youth-led protests against the controversial Finance Bill 2024 and calls for greater government accountability that eventually led to President Ruto's capitilation. The climax of these protests saw demonstrators breach parliament, leading to several protesters being shot by security forces.
In response to the unrest, President Ruto ultimately rejected the Finance Bill and promised to implement austerity measures to curb government spending.
Kalonzo’s warning underscores the growing impatience and activism among Kenya’s youth, who are demanding immediate and substantial change. As the nation grapples with these issues, the words of Kalonzo Musyoka serve as a crucial reminder of the power and determination of Generation Z.
