Coup In Kenya? Gen Z Protest Against Proposed Finance Bill Recommended By Imf And World Bank.
#kenya #protest
It is said that the youths are the leaders of tomorrow but in most African countries, the youths are not regarded as such. And, that is why leadership positions in the countries are usually occupied by old men who have been there for decades, with no sign of leaving. However, sometimes, when things are going haywire in the country because of the decisions of these old leaders, a fire is ignited in the hearts of the youths, and before anyone knows it, this fire has spread and grown to become a movement. This is exactly what is happening right now in Kenya. If you are not aware, a strong protest and demonstration is currently going on in Kenya, and this time it was not organized by adults but by a group of people in the country, generally known as Gen Z. Born between 1997 and 2012, Kenya’s Gen Z are taking the country by storm, reshaping the political landscape in Kenya and making every Kenya politician feel the heat. So, why exactly are they protesting?
Well, in Kenya the financial year runs from July to June. So, a finance bill has to be presented to parliament before the start of the new financial year. This bill lays out the government’s fiscal plans for the fiscal ahead. So, for the new financial year which will run from July 2024 to June 2025, the Kenya Parliament recently released the proposed finance bill. This bill included the government's plan to generate an extra $2.7 billion in taxes to reduce the budget deficit and state borrowing. Taxes are imposed on essential items including bread, vegetable oil, diapers, sanitary pads and other items. According to the reports, the government imposed these taxes on recommendation from the IMF and World Bank, which has been urging the Kenya government to cut deficits to obtain more funds. As you can imagine, Kenyans did not take the decision lightly and have called for the government to scrap the proposed tax increases, arguing that these will stifle the economy and further burden Kenyans who are already facing a cost-of-living crisis.

Go Gen Z, take your future in your hands. Ruto old and stupid, he should go.
I stand with you Kenya Youth ✊🏽
When a "lap dog" leader allied himself to US instead of the Kenyans? It's time to elect a new Leader like Capt. Tiore
Ruto is a puppet
Proud of the Kenyan people!
Yes that's good let the Africa Leaders knows now a days the children's are not stupid. What about the Gambian should do the same.
No protest,……. No redress! This Change requires pain!
RUTO SHOWS HIS TRUE COLORS......he is a sold out!
people in Africa are tired of the game by their puppet leaders
The issue is BIGGER than protesting. Ruto wants to send Kenyans across the world as lowly paid slaves instead of creating industries in Africa. These industries should create products and services that could be sold throughout Africa. There is no need to depend on IMF loans or outsource Kenyan youth labor.
Ruto and his stupid members of parliament thought it was a prank calling the Gen Z clueless now he knows who we are, he must Go.
Distractions/confusions/pretenders. FOCUS ON DEVELOPMENT INSTEAD OF PAWNING YOUR COUNTRY FOR CASH.

That is why Burkina Faso and the other Sahel States have rejected US and IMF loans. To go their own way. The loan requirements would have bankrupted the countries.
Finally
He must not be president 😊😊😊

The taxation on consumption exist in every country in Europe. In Sweden it is called Moms. It was supposed to be temporary but is permanent. Taxation in non-essentials is ok, commodities like alcohol and cigarettes.
Ruto was 4th Politician Millionare in Kenya. He own many land, hotel, resorts. And there are dozens of millionare politician families and person in Kenya. They rule the power in Kenyan while almost 60% Kenyan living in poor standard. And many lack of proper housing, water excess for drinking, sanitation, drainage, no proper school building, roads, And important issue was unemployed after left schools and universities.
Mass spirit unproken!
Take of pls❤

One cannot just take a person because they are young and install them in a leadership position.
Ruto Doesn’t Have The Interest Of Kenyans And Should Resign…Unarmed Civilians Youths Been Unalive Should Not Be Allowed To Go Unpunished..

The United States forced the Kenyan Parliament to accept the IMF's demands to increase taxes, ban the construction of new and renovation of existing hospitals and schools, and Kenyan President William Ruto the first person in Kenya who rejected demands of IMF and refuse to sign an anti-people financial bill with the demands of the IMF and the USA unconditionally adopted by Parliament of Kenya!
