Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has urged the young generation to come out boldly and fight for their rights.

Uhuru on Friday said the youth commonly known as Gen Z including his daughter Ngina should not just sit around and let what they toiled for be taken away.

Speaking at the burial of his cousin, a veteran rally driver Kibathi Muigai, Uhuru said unfortunately many people have become afraid of defending what rightfully belongs to them. "Shida ya watu siku hizi sijui wameogopeshwa, hata wewe Ngina rudi uingie kwa hii muungano sababu Gen z nyinyi ndio the story of the future, fight for your rights bwana sio kukaa kaaa hapo mali yenu mmetolea jasho ichukuliwe, msikubali, pambaneni hadi mpate haki yenu kwa maana hakuna kitu inadumu," Uhuru said amid applause.
