Ruto is such a liar, he is lying to the world while is is the enemy of the people. How can citizens be criminals... Ruto and his member of parliament...they are the real criminal in Kenya. People of Kenya we are safe and we are asking for our rights.
I am a Kenyan and Ruto....the president, has refused to listen to his people. His MPs(204) were paid each Ksh 2 million to pass a finance bill that will see an increase in taxes for the employed, resulting in at least 42% taxes in our paychecks. He also does not address the fact that our lands, passed down through inheritance will now become state owned should the bill be passed. We cannot be leasing our ancestral lands from the government. The bill is punitive and crippling, and it will see our already hard lives become impossible to live. The Kenyan youth are fighting for a better future which this bill now threatens.
