Kenya Protests: Kenyans’ Gen-Z Movement Stays Defiant Over Tax Bill Protests | Watch
It has been more than a month since Kenyans took to the streets to protest a new tax bill.
The Gen-Z movement has remained defiant despite threats to their safety, even after the bill was withdrawn and President William Ruto dismissed his cabinet.
Republican Leader Vivek Ramaswamy endorsed Trump in his Viral Speech. He pushed for safe communities, jobs, and justice for all Americans. He also urged black Americans to reject media narratives and seek shared prosperity. As per him, Legal immigrants deserve opportunities for their children. Gen Z is called to conserve and uphold American values. Vivek Ramaswamy echoed these sentiments in support of Trump, emphasizing unity and traditional values.

The largely peaceful protests, primarily led by young Gen-Z activists, escalated into violent confrontations last Tuesday. The situation deteriorated when lawmakers passed the contentious tax legislation, prompting protesters to storm the parliament complex in Nairobi. The building was partially set ablaze, and police responded with live ammunition, leading to more casualties and injuries. President William Ruto, facing his most severe crisis since taking office in September 2022, addressed the nation on Sunday. He acknowledged the deaths of 19 people but denied any personal responsibility for the violence, pledging to investigate the fatalities.

Protesters returned to the streets of Nairobi on Thursday, expressing scepticism about Kenyan President William Ruto's recent decision to temporarily suspend an unpopular tax bill. Demonstrators clashed with police, who fired tear gas canisters to disperse the crowds in the city's commercial district, where most businesses remained closed. The resounding message from the protesters was clear: "Ruto must go, Ruto must go." The protests continued despite the police's efforts to intimidate the demonstrators. “The police are trying to scare us away,” said Karege, a protester. “But the president, it's time for him to go, to resign.” Another demonstrator voiced the sentiment that the protests were driven by a desire for peace, not violence. “We’ve been throwing teargas all along. We don’t have a problem with his excellency, the only thing we are seeking is peace.”
