Mutua believes that the current situation in the country is no longer driven by a Gen Z agenda, as it has been hijacked by opportunistic individuals. He condemned the looting witnessed in town and asserted that no leader should condone or celebrate such incidents.

"What happened today was not a Gen Z protest. It was a criminal activity sponsored by people who don't love this country. I agree with those saying that the protests have been hijacked. The ugly scenes of looting and destruction of property are reminiscent of the 2007/8 post election violence. This is not Gen Zs agenda any more. It has been hijacked. I can't imagine the pain of business people who helplessly watched their businesses being looted. No sane leader should condone or celebrate such madness." Mutua said.
