Nation Media Group Chairperson Wilfred Kiboro has commended the youth, mostly of the Gen Z age group, for leading the push for change in Kenya.
Mr Kiboro on Friday, July 12, said the move by President Ruto to fire his Cabinet secretaries as well as the promised far-reaching changes in government are big steps in reforming the country.
“Our country is ailing from chronic institutional failures anchored in selfishness and corruption, which has become a culture for political leaders both at county and national levels. Whatever is happening at the national level, let it also happen in the counties,” said Dr Kiboro during the 8th graduation ceremony of Riara University, of which he is the Chancellor.
“We had hope that we would have a good country, but, along the way, we lost it. Thank you for reclaiming our country.”
“The Judiciary is not any better, cases are dragged, and those involved in corruption cases are dropped. This is not right,” he said.
He urged them to be enterprising and not just wait for employment from different organisations and companies.
“I don’t agree with the usual statement that there are no jobs, equip yourselves with what you have,” he told the graduands.
