President William Ruto has asked the youthful protesters popularly known as Gen Zs to come out and state their plan as they push for change in government through street protests.
Speaking in Taita Taveta, the President said demonstrations and anarchy will not sort out Kenya's problems.
"They should give us a chance to build our country. They have no alternative plan, what they want is chaos and anarchy. I have told them, that if they have an alternative plan, let them come out and tell Kenyans their alternative plan, let them not cause chaos and anarchy. If they have a plan let them tell us," Ruto said.
The President cited different projects the government is undertaking to create employment for youths.
"We have the housing programme, digital jobs, export of labour and industrialisation, what is theirs? They are saying their plan is demonstrations, can you take demos as a job?" Ruto asked.
Ruto has on several occasions questioned the aftermath of the Gen Z demonstrations as the protesters have vowed to continue demanding accountability and good governance.
The President said that he would not allow a section of Kenyans to take the country in the wrong direction.
"Some people think that they will demonstrate until Kenya stops, I want to tell them, that we will not allow our country to be gambled with. We will not allow people to take the country and demonstrate by killing people, destroying properties and burning down government buildings for their selfish gains," he said.
Ruto also said that he will not allow a few people to destroy Kenya's democracy and the country as a whole.
He further added that Kenya is a peace-loving nation that believes in the rule of law.
"We will never allow a few people to cause mayhem, anarchy, destroy properties, burn down government buildings and cause problems in the country," Ruto said.
Ruto called on Kenyans to stand together and protect the democracy of the country.
He said the country is a democratic nation where Kenyans are the ones to determine their leaders. He spoke on Monday in Bangale Tana River during his coastal region tour.
