Oscar Sudi Slams Uhuru Kenyatta for Urging Gen Zs to “Fight for Change”

Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi has hit out at former President Uhuru Kenyatta over his recent call for African youth to “fight for change,” accusing him of inciting the young generation against the current government.

Speaking during a church fundraiser at ACK Tumaini in Kapseret on Sunday, Sudi said Kenyatta had no moral authority to urge youth to demand change, claiming he left the country burdened with massive debt during his decade in power.

“I never wanted to respond to you, but since you have behaved rudely, I ask you to desist from inciting youths against the Kenya Kwanza regime,” Sudi said.

“You took a lot of loans for this country and left us with debts we will repay for the next 40 years,” he added.

Sudi further criticized Kenyatta’s leadership, saying he had the chance to create opportunities for the youth but failed to do so.

Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa echoed similar sentiments, urging President William Ruto to remain focused on delivering services and ignore political distractions.

“The former president has started inciting the youths, behaving as if he loves them more than their own parents,” Barasa said.

“When he had a chance to empower young people, he instead appointed a 91-year-old Moody Awori to lead a government sports fund,” Barasa added.

The sharp reactions come days after Uhuru Kenyatta addressed young Africans at a leadership summit in Kampala, Uganda, on April 25. In his keynote speech, Kenyatta called on Gen Zs to reject short-term political gains and push for good governance.

“No one is coming to save us. As the world turns increasingly inward, the places to seek refuge are rapidly disappearing,” Kenyatta said, describing today’s youth as the “freedom fighters of this era.”

However, Kenyatta’s remarks have drawn mixed reactions back home. Leaders allied to Kenya Kwanza have questioned his legacy, insisting he should not lecture others on governance given the challenges his administration faced.

Earlier, Transport CS Kipchumba Murkomen also criticized Kenyatta, suggesting the former president’s record was too flawed for him to offer credible advice on leadership and reform.

As the debate heats up, it remains to be seen whether Kenyatta’s message will energize the youth or spark further political divisions.
