Kenyan President William Ruto said Wednesday that he will not sign the 2024 finance bill that had sparked deadly protests in the country and left at least five people dead.

Kenyan President William Ruto said Wednesday that he will not sign a controversial finance bill that had sparked deadly protests in the country and left at least six people dead.

” Kenya, a nation often praised for its stability, has seen escalating protests over the bill, spearheaded largely by young people. Last week, the government scrapped some tax increases, including a proposed 16% value-added tax on bread along with taxes on motor vehicles, vegetable oil and mobile money transfers. But the concessions were not enough to quell protests amid the rising cost of living. On Tuesday they turned deadly when security forces fired teargas and live ammunition at protesters.
