Ichung’wah dismisses Gen Z protesters as ‘KFC-eating, Uber-riding’ city dwellersNational Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah has dismissed the ‘Occupy Parliament’ protest against the 2024 Finance Bill as a movement of privileged urbanites in Nairobi. Speaking during the groundbreaking ceremony of the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) at Eldama Ravine in Baringo County, the Kikuyu Member of Parliament said young Nairobi protesters have little understanding of hardship as they do it in the comfort of the city’s amenities. The MP added that he was proud of leading a group of 204 legislators in voting to approve the contentious Finance Bill during the Second Reading. According to results announced by Speaker Moses Wetang’ula, the House voted 204 against 115 to send the bill to the Committee Stage. Video by Ken Ruto
