In the wake of recent Gen Z-led protests against police brutality, artists Nameless and Juacali have expressed their support for the youth’s call for accountability and standing up for themselves and what they believe in.
“We are so behind the Gen Z movement of asking for accountability. I think a lot of times watu hawakua na chance ya kufanya hivo lakini now from online to the streets, people are now saying this has been going on for too long, it needs to stop. So this makes me proud,” the ‘Why Lie’ artist said.
While admiring the youth’s bravery, Nameless urged generations to come forward with new courage, adding that he will support them all the way.
With the Gen Z’s showing no fear in fighting for their rights and questioning the steps and duties of the government, has raised a solidarity in Kenyans as now there has been an emergence of various ways of educating each other over various constitutional rights and the rights and freedoms of the people of Kenya.
“This generation is now pushing it even further, and they are braver than we were,” Nameless says, “But we need that. Every generation needs to come with new courage, and keep going, so we are behind them all the way.”
In the previous generations it was so hard to question the government and ask for accountability but now young people have come up to do what other generations could not do.
“It is only natural wabehave hivo. Si ati ni story ya vita, it is only natural,” Mi naeza kumbuka tukiwa young, tulikua na hizi dreams za kua hapa. We had a future mbele yetu. But pia hao wakona hii future, but wanaona hii future iko oblique. So it’s only right wabehave hivo, but responsibly.” Juacali says.
