Saboti Member of Parliament Caleb Amisi has warned the government against mistaking the silence of the Gen Zs for submission.
In a statement via his X handle on Sunday, October 12, Amisi described the silence of the Gen Zs as a ticking time bomb.
The ODM lawmaker suggested that frustration among the youth is mounting due to what he termed the re-emergence of the ‘Moi cabal’.
According to Amisi, the young people want a complete overhaul of the current system.
“The silence of the GenZs should not be construed as submission. It is a ticking time bomb. The more you bring back the Moi cabal to the system, the more wood to the fire. Youths want a complete overhaul of the oppressive system,” said the Saboti MP.

Amisi’s remarks come after President William Ruto and former Baringo Senator Gideon Moi agreed to shelve their political rivalry.
The KANU Chairman, on Friday, October 10, hosted President Ruto at his Kabarak home in Nakuru County.
The two leaders were joined by senior government officials, KANU representatives, and local leaders from Nakuru and Baringo counties.
In a statement after the event, Moi underscored the importance of unity and expressed gratitude to his supporters in Baringo.
“We’ve elected to pursue the path of unity and shared purpose at this crucial point in our nation.
“As such, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the people of Baringo for their support and for granting us a chance to move beyond our differences and mold a cohesive and prosperous nation," Moi said.
President Ruto echoed Moi’s sentiments, framing the engagement as part of a broader push for political cooperation and national cohesion.
“The necessity of national unity demands that all of us rise above that which divides us so that we work together on the transformation agenda that is urgent in our country. We must, therefore, put aside politics that could cause division and become partners in the national endeavour to get Kenya out of Third World status and make it a prosperous country that works for all citizens," Ruto stated.
The Kabarak meeting came just days after President Ruto hosted Moi and KANU leaders at State House, Nairobi.
