Hon. Farah Maalim has cautioned that the current public excitement about the Generation Z youth revolt in the country will soon fade away. He noted that similar excitements have occurred before and ended without achieving their intended goals.



Speaking during an interview with KTN News Television this morning, Hon. Farah Maalim argued that he has always spoken his mind, regardless of potential political incorrectness.


He mentioned having witnessed similar excitements like the current one brought by Gen Z before, which eventually faded away without achieving their intended goals.

Therefore, Gen Z should continue using democratic means and keep engaging in dialogue with the government as the only proper way to push for reforms in the country. However, the approach of chest-thumping and occupying various places may not be effective for them.
