Kenya African National Union (KANU) Chairman, Gideon Moi, has strongly condemned the arrest and abduction of Gen Z protesters and other leaders opposing the Finance Bill 2024.

Nairobi — Kenya African National Union Chairman, Gideon Moi, has strongly condemned the arrest and abduction of Gen Z protesters and other leaders opposing the Finance Bill 2024.

"We are a country of the rule of law, not the rule of individuals. If anyone is suspected of having committed any crime, they must be arrested in accordance with the law and produced in a court of competent jurisdiction," Moi stated. A widely shared poster on social media reveals plans for a seven-day protest to show solidarity for their slain colleague, Rex, and to push the government to reject the Finance Bill, which recently passed its second reading. Dubbed '7 Days of Rage,' the demonstrations also aim to warn Members of Parliament who supported the Bill against their constituents' wishes and to urge investigations into police brutality against protesters.

Moi also expressed his support for the ongoing protests against the Finance Bill 2024, urging the government to prioritize industrialization over taxation.
