“There is no need for political dialogue since we saw the recent urest that led the president to have dialogue on the space platform with Gen Z didn’t bore any fruits. President Ruto needs to have a decisive administrative actions as solution to whet were are witnessing today,” stated Omtatah.
The senator’s remarks comes in a time when political class are divided on whether to have dialogue with the government on the current state of affairs, or go the Gen Z way by pushing the government through national demo’s.
