NAIROBI, Kenya — Kenya's president said on Wednesday he won't sign into law a finance bill proposing new taxes that prompted thousands of protesters to storm the parliament the previous day, leaving several people killed as police opened fire. It was the biggest assault on Kenya’s government in decades.
Kenyans faced the lingering smell of tear gas and military in the streets on Wednesday morning, a day after thousands stormed the parliament in an act of defiance that Ruto had called an “existential” threat. “We are dealing with a new phenomenon and a group of people that is not predictable,” said Herman Manyora, an analyst and professor at the University of Nairobi. “We don’t know whether these people will fear the army.”
“We continue to urge restraint so that no further Kenyans are put in harm’s way while exercising their right to peaceful public assembly,” he said. Many young people who helped vote Ruto into power in 2022, supporting his promises of economic relief, now oppose the pain of reforms.
