LIVE: Kenyan President Ruto Sacks Cabinet After Nationwide Protests over new Taxes
Kenyan President William Ruto dismissed his entire cabinet apart from the foreign minister in the wake of nationwide anti-government protests. The youth-led protests, sparked by planned tax hikes which Ruto was forced to abandon, have created the biggest crisis of his two-year presidency. At least 39 people were killed in clashes with the police and some demonstrators briefly stormed parliament last month.

He should have gone together with his cabinet.
This guy doesnt want peace with anyone, hes making things worse, he is the one who is supporse to resign if he wants Kenya to be good, he employed these people and now he goes against them to make matters worse, God help us all...
We didn't need much stories from him which are pure lies. Just say you have sacked all Cs's. Period. This guy will not be in power to lauge those projects he's talking about
Bad governance and Corruption among government officials are the pandemic the Kenya's Gen Z are fighting. And the game has just started, the Economic Revolution is our main goal, and the world is watching closely.
Ruto is pushing forward to accommodate Kenyans in the government payroll to avoid axe by Gen Z from being a president,he is too clever

@@MichaelSelloMofokeng Dugu Michael you are right when you say that Dr Ruto is very clever. Infact he is clever, serious and humble enough to do all what it takes to stop some of our power hungry politicians from plunging our great country of Kenya into civil war, bloodshed, civilians displacement, mass deaths and graves, seeking of asylum in foreign countries and terrible humanitarian catastrophe in Kenya. Yes, our president Dr William Ruto is clever enough to protect our great country of Kenya from becoming like Sudan, Somalia and Haiti. Dugu Michael, I trust that you, who knows that our president Dr William Ruto is indeed clever and other peace loving patriotic Kenyans will not wish to see Dr William Ruto axed by fools and replaced with a man or woman less clever than him. God bless you and keep you brother Michael and good day.

@@lovestrong3582 You Gen Zs may be clever but not more clever and experienced than our Kenyan elders. You may be proud exercising your power of numbers in an illegal, unconstitutional, and undemocratic way insulting your constitutional rights to free speech by chanting hate speech against your democratically and constitutionally elected president, and using your power of numbers to insult your democratic and constitutional rights to peaceful and unarmed demonstrations by allowing goons, thugs, robbers and looters to trespass private property, rob, loot, and burn private houses, businesses and vehicles. Yes you might feel clever, strong, important and proud when you use your strength of numbers to overwhelm Kenyan security armed officers as you take over the government buildings, the centers of power for our government, our president, city hall, and judiciary building and burn them down but you act foolishly. You are foolish enough to imagine that you can make the government and all Kenyans to submit to every illegal and unconstitutional and undemocratic demand that you may make through the main stream and social medias. You are not Wise enough to see that if Kenya becomes like Sudan, Somalia, and Haiti, you foolish Gen Zs will never enjoy the peace and development that we, your fathers enjoy and enjoyed in the past. You are not Wise enough to know that if you refuse dialogue today you may have war and blood shed, destruction of property, widespread looting, mass deaths etc and your government of Kenya will be worse than the government of Kenya you are opposing today. Yes our president Dr William Ruto is clever enough to see all this and to attempt to do all it takes to leave to you s Kenya that you will be proud to live in and proudly say, "Kenya kipenzi chetu hatutakuacha milele daima." God bless you Gen Z.
African leaders never take responsibility for their failures. He just wants to stop Kenyans from engaging in further protest by being diplomatic.
Well done mr president. Also go an extr mile by donating some pieces of your own land to those people who were affected by the flood. By so doing God will repay you inturn and will also earn you a lot of mirage in your next campaign.

Let us stop this housing thing, and replace it with manufacturing entities, in manufacturing, even of needles, shoes, clothes, milk processing, manufacturing of computers, telephone, screen savers, simple gas cylinders etc. This will employ more people than housing.

Exiting at this stage will ruin Kenyan economy, and recovery will take time. I really pray that God shows us Mercy. The Kenyan shilling value is going down by the day despite it recovering last Month, but the protests are too much, now it's high time we stop. The foreign ivesters are also pulling out. 😢

Change your plans to support the middle and lower class. Kenya needs small scale industries to be produced by youths, scientific input into farming the greatest employer of the lower class. Kenya has more rain than Israel and the land just needs some scientific input to be productive. Take a cabinet of youths who are selfless, not those tribalistic politicians of the past century who enjoy accumulation of property instead of prosperity of the country. Time is right to change the mindset of Kenyans. Leadership is a service to the community, the bottom up policy needs committed leaders . Tell them that and God will be with you. Send youths to Israel, China to see how the bottom up policy works.
Ruto must be. Stay.

If your government is doing good as you are saying why people don’t feel in their daily life?

President Ruto is moving in the right direction. Although it took the intervention of the Gen Z, at last he is doing something about it. Let us give him a chance, for a fresh start by giving Kenyans the right people chosen by the people.
We have actually made history, Kenyans. Do we realise this was a serious revolution in a matternof 1 month??? This is a first! WE made a mark on Kenyan histroy🎉🎉🎉❤. Still more work to be done though.
