Did something change suddenly? Where were they in 2022? They were busy in tribal e-wars;
The punitive taxes woke them up. Ndii's policies impoverished them so fast that they were stunned into action.
I actually think the economic disaster started with Uhuru's total incompetence, heavy borrowing and extreme corruption. Then, Ndii comes in and tries to stop the bleeding, but it was too late.
Then add in other factors (amidst this economic distress) Ruto and his henchmen immediately start stealing and the gen z's start noticing their expensive shoes, expensive watches, Oscar Sudi all of a sudden is driving a Maybach and it infuriates them even further.
It is now too late for Ruto. The trust is gone. Finished. Destroyed and I thank God they have woken up and finally realized that these politicians are all out for themselves.
Ruto also messed up with this campaign message of hope. He said he was going to clean up Uhuru's mess, focus on the hustlers, but he comes into office and immediately starts stealing (doing the complete opposite of what he promised and people realized that they WERE LIED TO)
