Still reeling from the impact and reach of the movement he started on his X platform. <\/p>\n\n\n

A day after hundreds of young people, also known as the Gen Z group, took over the protest mantle from the older generation. Both in nature and style, the protests have evolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea to protest against the bill came almost accidentally online when Kenya and an acquaintance voiced their concerns. The hashtag caught fire, drawing in the Gen Z demographic.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Unlike traditional demonstrations, this Gen Z-driven protest had multiple centers of origin, mobilized under different hashtags including #OccupyParliament and #RejectFinanceBill2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kenyan youth appear to be following in the example of other youth-led protests and movements across the globe that have precipitated change, like the Arab Spring Revolution, the Tiananmen Square protests in Beijing, China, and the Soweto Uprising in South Africa, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The youthful generation is serving notice to The Establishment that it will no longer stay silent while decisions concerning their lives are being taken by others in authority. They will make sure that their voices are heard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
