A Kenyan has released a song ahead of the planned countrywide protests on August 8 dubbed ‘nanenanemarch’.
The song which is being circulated on various social media platforms urges Gen Zs and Millenials to turn out in their numbers on that day.
“The day is coming when we will show them we have nothing to fear. We can see that they can’t hear.....so we say ah ah ah, tarehe nane tokea,” the song goes.
We could not, however, tell who the composer is.
Among the counties where the youths came out during the past protests include Mombasa, Kisumu, Migori, Kisii, Homa Bay and Nairobi.
The protests witnessed in June were initially called to push the MPs to reject the Finance Bill, 2024 before escalating to calls for better governance and an end to corruption.
President William Ruto heeded the call and withdrew the Bill and also went ahead to dissolve his cabinet and named a broad-based government.
Last week, protests did not take place in any part of the country.
Speaking while attending a church service in Bomet on July 21, Ruto vowed to ''protect the nation'' saying he had already given everybody a chance to air their views.
He told the Gen Zs that ''enough is enough''.
The President said he had already given a lot of concessions as demanded by the protesters including rejecting the Finance Bill, 2024, yet protests continue.
"I dropped the Finance Bill, I called them to come to the table and talk to me, they refused and asked me to go to X, I went there but they ran away,'' Ruto said.
"I have called them for talks but they have refused saying they are faceless and formless.''
The last time the protesters planned to invade Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) failed after police beefed up security in all areas around the facility.
