Public Service Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria now says President William Ruto can only leave office through another election.
Speaking during an interview with JFK Live on Citizen TV on Wednesday, Kuria said "Ruto didn't come he was elected and there is another election coming".
He affirmed that the only way is the democratic way, for Gen Zs to use their numbers and voice in the ballot.
"People are saying Ruto must go but Ruto didn’t come, he was elected and another election is coming. The only way for Ruto to go is through the vote," he said.
The next elections in Kenya will be held in 2027.
Kuria said there is no need for the country to be plunged into coups and violence, like some other African countries, saying it is not a joke but rather a lunatic expression.
Kuria went on to say the only way to send him home was by exercising the democratic will of the people.
"Guys, look at the other side, it might appear romantic and good content but it is not a joke," he said.
Gen Z protesters have been chanting the 'Ruto must go' slogan on the streets and social media.
Among their demands, some of which have been addressed, is that Ruto steps down.
On his part, on July 3, Kuria had said he is ready to face consequences if the current Cabinet is dissolved.
His statement followed calls from Senators for President Ruto to dissolve the Cabinet to tackle the country's challenges.
"If the jury says that Moses Kuria has to go home, I will be the first to say yes we go home, but it is also high time that we also deliver," Kuria said.
