President Ruto Faces Protests Over Tax Hikes, Promises Dialogue with Youth Amid Deaths and Injuries
Jun 23, 2024, 10:58 AM
Young Kenyans have taken to the streets this week to protest against proposed tax hikes. President William Ruto is facing significant pressure to address the public's concerns while meeting IMF demands for a balanced budget. In response to the protests, which were largely peaceful, Ruto has met with security chiefs to discuss the handling of the demonstrations and potential escalation. During a church service at the ACK Diocese of Nyahururu, Ruto expressed pride in the youth for their peaceful protests and assured them that their issues would be addressed. He emphasized the importance of engaging with the youth to identify their concerns and work together as a nation. Despite heightened security, protests continued outside the church service, with demonstrators chanting anti-Ruto slogans. Protests against the new tax proposals have resulted in deaths and injuries. A national strike is planned for June 25 amid ongoing economic pressures and rising inflation.
