• Gachagua claims Ruto has given seven different reasons for the ongoing youth protests since 2024.
• The former Deputy President accused Ruto of deflecting real issues and blaming others instead of addressing youth concerns.
• He argued that the government is using accusations of political incitement to delegitimize the protests instead of listening to the grievances of Gen Z, such as abductions.
