Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has proposed that June 25 be declared a public holiday to honour Gen Z youths who lost their lives during the anti-Finance Bill protests.
Speaking during the official launch of the People's Liberation Party on Thursday, Kalonzo alleged that June 25 is the true liberation day to fight injustice, reject abductions, condemn the looting of Kenya's resources, and end the impoverishment of the Kenyan people. "I want to make a very serious proposal-to honour the young Kenyans who died, many of them on June 25, which I call J25.
If it meets the approval of young Kenyans, we will declare it a public holiday," Kalonzo said.
According to Kalonzo, the bravery of Gen Z during the protests is reason enough to celebrate them as heroes of liberation.
