The ‘finance bill’ triggered widespread protests when it became public in mid-June, leading to a crackdown on Tuesday in which at least 23 people were killed when protesters stormed parliament. The protesters called on Ruto to resign.

  4. The president and his cabinet secretaries post weekly videos showing off expensive watches, shoes , top of the range cars, houses all proceeds of corruption.
    They must resign now.

  6. If William Ruto would just step down, it would probably put an end to all this chaos!

    To my fellow Zimbabwean brothers and sisters living in Nairobi.. Stay safe and don't get involved.

  12. Rwandan Tustsi Ruto went too fast now Kanyan people are now one and will make sure that Tuto resigns as soon as possible before the worst comes on his way .

  20. The Kenyan president William Ruto does not have the constitutional madate to withdraw a bill passed by Parliament…unless Parliament repeals the finance bill 2024… Kenyans are being taken on another dangerous ride by their corrupt and inept president William Ruto

  22. Kenya Government sponsored militias armed with batons and all manner of crude weapon are out and about in their hundreds hunting and maiming innocent protestors in Eldoret town which is president Ruto's backyard…And they are being escorted by the kenya police… It's scary guys.. Where's United Nations? .. Ruto sponsoring anti protestors militias to protect his looting spree…

  31. Government when they want people to pay tax: we have to pay the police to look after you
    Government when people want to complain about excessive tax: we need to abuse the police to control you

  33. For the Kenyan president, solve the problem of your people first before you interfere in the affairs of others. Go ahead, people of Kenya. The president has a day for you and a day against you.

  36. The tax bill was not withdrawn. Ruto just refused to sign it. Which means in 14 days itll automatically come into law anyway. Gen Z know his lies and want him gone.
