Environment Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has recently criticised former President Uhuru Kenyatta after he urged the youth to stand up and fight for their rights.
Speaking during the alumni gathering of Garissa High School on Saturday, CS Duale criticised Uhuru\’s remarks, describing them as insightful and undermining the government of President William Ruto.
He further described the former President\’s remarks as reckless for a leader of his stature and urged the political class to lead by example for the youth.

Duale maintained that such statements could promote unrest and should not come from a leader of Uhuru\’s caliber.
\’\’It is very unfortunate if we the leaders, current and former, set the stage where we tell the young people of our nation to commit acts of violence and disobedience. I think by doing so, we lose the moral high ground,\’\’ Duale stated.
According to Duale, Uhuru as a former President should strive to see a united and peaceful country.
The former president while attending the burial of his relative on Friday, asked the Gen Z to stand up and fight for their rights and not let what they toiled for be taken away from them.
“The problem of people nowadays is people are afraid. Gen Zs are the story of the future. Fight for your rights. Fight to ensure you are getting what is rightfully yours.Don\’t stand and watch as your wealth is taken from you. Everything is worth fighting for. If you do not fight for it, don\’t cry if it is taken away.” Uhuru urged.
