The anti-Finance Bill protests in Kenya have intensified across the country, with citizens rebelling against President William Ruto’s budget plan. From Nairobi to Kisumu, demonstrators clash with police, demanding a rejection of the Ksh3.9 trillion budget.
The protests, mainly led by youthful crowds, have spread to cities like Eldoret, Mombasa, and Kisii, disrupting business activities and transport. The demonstrators, displeased with the tax measures proposed by Ruto, united under slogans like “Ruto Must Go” and “Reject Finance Bill.” Amidst heavy police presence, the protests remained mostly peaceful, with participants calling for MPs to reject the bill during parliamentary sessions.
The discontented citizens accused the government of imposing burdensome taxes without considering the high cost of living. The protests reflect widespread dissatisfaction with the administration’s fiscal policies, emphasizing the need for economic reforms responsive to the people’s welfare.
