Lady Accuses Generation X Of Causing Kenya's Problems: "Most Corrupt, Asking For Unnecessary Qualifications"

• A TikToker strongly called out people in the Generation X category, claiming they control access to opportunities
• According to the Duchess of Kenyashire, the people in this category deny others access to HELB loans, civil service, diplomas and degrees
• The policymaker also accused Generation X of workplace problems and intergenerational conflict

People between the ages of 43 and 58 are in trouble with a popular TikToker who has claimed that they are the source of the problems bedevilling this county.

No access to HELB loans

"These are the people born between 1965 and 1980; they are known as Generation X. These people were born during a time of economic hardship and had to raise themselves as their parents were out hustling," she said on TikTok.

"These are the people who have mastered the art of gatekeeping; they ensure that you do not have access to certain things in Kenya; you won't have acces to HELB loans, some diplomas or degrees if you don't have certain grades. Civil service requires you to get six expensive documents to even apply for a job," the @duchessofkenyashire lamented.

Generation X is most corrupt

According to TikToker, a person looking for that job will not get it as it will still be given to the relatives of the Generation X person.

"This is the most corrupt demographic of people. They were raised without parents, and it has contributed to them not having values, morals and gatekeeping in every aspect," she opined.

"These are the people gatekeeping at Kenya School Law if you don't have B in either English or Swahili you will not qualify there. These are the demographic group of people that has increased the university fees 10 or 15 times from what was initially required.

The content creator also alleged that people in this demographic would most likely be problematic in the workplace and resist change.

"These are the people who are most hateful of youngsters; they hate Gen Zs and millennials so I don't even know who they love," said the TikToker
