Prayer Breakfast Turns Tense: Pastor Challenges Kenyan Leaders

Kenya's National Prayer Breakfast: A Gen Z Confrontation. The annual National Prayer Breakfast in Nairobi, Kenya, took an unexpected turn on May 28th, 2025. Pastor Rickey Bolden, a guest speaker, delivered a powerful message directly addressing the Kenyan government's treatment of Gen Z. "Gen Z isn’t the problem—you are. Apologize for the arrests, the internet shutdown, and all the harm," Bolden stated, his words causing visible discomfort among government officials, including President William Ruto. The video, which has quickly gained traction online, shows Ruto and his team visibly uneasy during Bolden's speech. The incident highlights the growing tension between the younger generation and the established political leadership in Kenya. It also underscores the importance of open dialogue and accountability in addressing the concerns of young people. The event serves as a reminder of the power of individual voices to challenge authority and demand change.
