Tuesday, August 6, 2024 – In what appears to be panic on the part of the Government of President William Ruto, Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo has convened a meeting with Regional Commissioners to prepare for the Gen Z protests on Thursday dubbed Nanenanemarch.
In a statement after the
Meeting, the Ministry of Interior noted that National Government Administrative
Officers (NGAOs) must adopt proactive measures to manage protests.
During the meeting, PS Omollo
and the Regional Commissioners also reviewed coordination roles to enhance
dialogue that resonates with the grievances of Kenyans.
“In light of the recent public
unrest, it is evident that National Government Administrative Officers must
adopt a more proactive and visible approach to managing such situations.
“PS Raymond Omollo convened a
meeting with Regional Commissioners to discuss the law and public order
situation across their respective regions and also reviewed their coordination
role to better foster genuine dialogue that resonates with the public's
grievances,” the Ministry of Interior.
The meeting further discussed
training of NGAOs for improved service delivery to the people, maintaining law
and order, and evaluation of government development projects.
This comes following weeks of
anti-government protests that have been witnessed across major towns in the
country.
The demos in some towns turned
chaotic with properties being destroyed and some protestors being shot by the
police.
The protests were initially
called to push Members of Parliament to reject the contagious Finance Bill 2024
but escalated to calls for better governance and the Gen Zs now want Ruto to
resign.
