Ruto's decision to join the forum came after the reservations from Gen Zs about participating in the multi-sectoral discussions he recently proposed to address their concerns and those facing the nation.
During a media roundtable at State House on June 30, the President agreed to Gen Z's demand that the only environment they would be comfortable discussing their issues was Space on X.
"I promised that I would engage the young people through multi-sectoral forums. I also promised the topics that I wanted us to discuss, and I’m open. I have heard that they do not want a multi-sectoral forum, and maybe we should engage on X, and I'm open to talking with them on a forum they are comfortable with," Ruto said.
On June 22, President William Ruto briefly joined an X space which was discussing matters about his administration.
The X space was dubbed " Good Morning Kenya: Where is Crazy Nairobian".
The President joined shortly before exiting the space, eliciting reactions from Kenyans.
The Gen Zs are behind the widespread protests which have rocked the country over the past two weeks.
The demonstrations entered third week on Tuesday, with Gen Zs vowing to keep them up.
Through social media platforms, the lot planned more demonstrations on Sunday to push President William Ruto into action.
So far, the only step Ruto has taken is abandoning the Finance Bill, 2024.
Last week, the protesters breached Parliament in rage never witnessed in the history of the country.
The demos, initially meant to push the President to drop the Bill, spiraled into full-blown countrywide street protests.
They metamorphosed into a call for sweeping reforms - demanding Ruto institutes radical changes, including firing corrupt officials from his inner circle.
