David Ndii Shifts Stance, Throws Support Behind Gen-Z Protests
In a significant reversal, David Ndii, Chief Economic Advisor to President William Ruto, has embraced the Gen-Z protests wholeheartedly.
Initially critical of what he perceived as protests led by affluent youth, Ndii now champions their cause as a call for democratic accountability.

“We stand firmly with them,” Ndii declared, emphasizing the protestors’ rejection of tribal politics and their demand for transparency. He condemned the use of force by law enforcement against demonstrators, highlighting his concern for the government’s response to dissent.
Ndii, a member of Ruto’s cabinet, also acknowledged support for reform-minded voices within the administration, who share the protestors’ frustrations over corruption and mismanagement.
Ndii’s shift in position coincides with nationwide opposition to the proposed Finance Bill 2024, which includes controversial tax measures.
His stance reflects broader sentiments among reformists within Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza administration, advocating for a more accountable and inclusive governance approach.
