Dagoretti South MP John Kiarie has eaten a humble pie after being forced to apologize for his comments regarding the anti-finance bill largely organized by Generation Z and the authenticity of certain images.

The legislator now avers that the words he made on the floor of the house were just a spur of the moment, which he deeply regrets.

"Some of the photos we have seen on the streets, I can tell you as a graphics editor that they do not belong to this country," he said during a debate in Parliament on Tuesday. "Having been a part of movements for social justice and human rights in the past, I acknowledge the importance of vigilance and popular agitation for a better Kenya," Kiarie stated.

In recent weeks, Kenya has witnessed a remarkable uprising led by its youngest demographic, Generation Z, who have taken to the streets in mass protests against the Finance Bill 2024.
