MY instant reaction: President William Ruto could have withdrawn the Finance Bill a few days ago and saved lives. But he was obstinate, and I watched police shoot protesters dead for no reason at all
The Star [@TheStarKenya] reporting that President Ruto has declined to sign the Finance Bill 2024 into law. The bill will now be sent back to Parliament before they break for recess today.
Spoke to @gzeromedia about the anti-tax protests. Kenya faces a major debt crisis, but Ruto has a choice in terms of what the tax structure is. Why should the burden of raising funds to repay Kenya's debts fall on lower-income Kenyans, protestors wonder. gzeromedia.com/news/watching…
Demonstrators have breached Kenya's Parliament in protest of tax hikes.
At least five people were reportedly killed and over 30 wounded.
This video footage appears to show protesters storming the country's Senate. Watch this space for updates.
#Kenya while we await William Ruto's address, the scenes outside parliament in #Nairobi has been really upsetting:
- police fire live rounds at protesters
- Amnesty International says 5 dead, many injured
- military now deployed to assist police force
- internet disrupted 1/
BREAKING: At least 12 prominent social media users have been "abducted in the middle of the night" ahead of protests in Kenya against over-taxation, Amnesty International tells CNN.
Investing in emerging economies like Kenya is part of Biden's strategy to build a safeguard a more resilient US-led global economy. It's part of an insurance policy against geopolitical shocks.
