Kenya: Don't Sign the Finance Bill, Listen to the People

Nairobi —

"Without these first steps, nobody should imagine that the current situation is going away any time soon, and nobody must imagine that Kenyans will sit back and watch police butcher their children in defence of policies whose consequences are pervasive," Odinga said. Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has equally voiced his concerns, urging Ruto to listen to the people.

Similar chaos occurred in major towns such as Mombasa, Nakuru, Eldoret, Kisumu, and Nyeri, where police engaged demonstrators in day-long battles. Businesses, including those belonging to leaders who supported the Bill were vandalized, looted, or set ablaze. Demonstrations against the Finance Bill began last week, led by Generation Z activists, who planned a week-long series of protests. These started with an Occupy Parliament event and included intentions to march to State House later in the week. However, President Ruto has warned of a major security crackdown, vowing to restore order.There was a problem processing your submission. Please try again later.
