Kenyan President William Ruto says finance bill to be withdrawn after anti-tax protest deaths

Kenyan President William Ruto said Wednesday that a bill containing contentious tax hikes would"be withdrawn", dramatically reversing course after more than 20 people died and parliament was ransacked by protesters opposed to the legislation.

"I concede and therefore I will not sign the 2024 finance bill and it shall subsequently be withdrawn," Ruto told a press briefing, adding:"The people have spoken." The state-funded Kenya National Commission on Human Rights said it had recorded 22 deaths and 300 injured victims, adding that they would launch an investigation.
