Nandi County has recently witnessed an unusual incident where an online meeting organized by Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) was disrupted by tech-savvy Gen Z and millennial participants.
The young intruders allegedly hijacked the session and filled it with memes, jokes, and sarcastic commentary.
This unexpected move highlights the generational tensions and frustrations among youth regarding governance in the county.
The disruption is part of a broader pattern where younger Kenyans are becoming more vocal about their dissatisfaction with public administration.
Many of them are frustrated by allegations of corruption and inefficiencies in county operations.
Recently, protests led by Gen Z and millennials also targeted Nandi Governor Stephen Sang, demanding greater accountability over public funds and infrastructure projects.
Such events underscore a growing mistrust of local leaders and a call for reform from a tech-literate and politically aware youth demographic​.
This generational activism is reshaping political discourse in Kenya, with youth increasingly leveraging online platforms to demand transparency and express their dissatisfaction.
For Nandi’s leadership, this incident serves as a wake-up call to address youth grievances, promote inclusivity in decision-making, and rebuild trust.
Failure to engage with this digitally empowered generation could lead to further disruptions in governance.
Nandi MCAs are facing a hard time. Nandi Gen Z and Millennials are not giving them space to breathe. Change is inevitable! INJECT 💉 pic.twitter.com/0qyTPYFD5f
