Kenya: President Ruto Agrees For "Conversation" With Protesters Over Tax Hikes | Firstpost Africa
Angry protesters in Kenya, who are demanding the tax hikes to be scrapped, have set an ultimatum for President William Ruto. They want him to respond to their demands publicly after Ruto said he was ready for a conversation with thousands of peaceful young protesters. The protesters are opposing the new tax hikes in the Finance Bill 2024 that has been tabled in the parliament. As the protests caught the Ruto government off-guard, it decided to roll back some of the proposed tax increases last week. However, the protesters want the bill to be scrapped altogether. The parliament is scheduled to convene on Tuesday to debate and vote on the bill. While the protesters have called for a national strike on the same day.

Kenyan's whatever you do, do not loot, burn vehicles, harass/beat innocent pedestrians, and block roads! Kenya belongs to you and fellow citizens not in the protests. The shops, merchandise, vehicles, property, and lives, are for your fellow Kenyans! Take a cue from youth in the Arab spring - protests without looting! Don't be misled to destroy your own country which you have built with your own hands and resources! Riot/demonstrate peacefully! Long live Kenya, long live East Africa, long live Africa!

We know that but there other options... our former president kibaki did that, and he didn’t have a lot of resources available by then, check his regime and by the time he left office the debt was almost over... there a lot of options without taking land ownership, without interfering with citizens data privacy, working in corruption, reducing govt expenses... surely if Ruto can bribe 204 MPs with 2m each to pass the bill that’s 408M of money wastage which can be used ??? Options are there!!!

Any meaningful conversation in my view will only begin after Ruto is completely out the picture. Because he lost touch with Kenyans immediately he placed the 11:13 Bible down. We ought to start educating Kenyans on what needs to happen next. What does our constitution say.....??
