Recent calls for dialogue in response to frequent Gen Z protests, while noble-sounding, have missed the mark, as talks have failed Kenyans before. But this has not stopped politicians, religious leaders and the business community from touting talks as the solution to quell the demos, hoping for the usual quick fix to the crisis.
Perhaps the most notable is former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s call for "inter-generational dialogue". However, his proposal has been met with scepticism, as critics describe it as a "repetitive and ineffective" approach that has consistently failed in the past.
