  • Ruto wants to "Engage" with Kenyan Protesters: Will He Back Down? | Vantage on Firstpost
    Kenyan President William Ruto says he wants to "engage" with the protesters who have been demonstrating against his proposed taxes for a week. But is there time for him to reach a compromise. Kenya's Finance Bill 2024 goes for its third & final reading on Tuesday. The protesters have called for a nationwide strike on Tuesday to show their resistance.

If Ruto claims that the economy was looted by Uhuru to the tune of billions, start by prosecuting him and recover that loot. While at it, also recover the Youth money looted by Waiguru and use that to fund the Finance Bill.

    Nice to see Alyson.
    Couple of tips though:
    1. Mic quality is poor. Sound is too peaky and high pitched. A better mic will help immensely.
    2. Colors on the cam are far too yellow for her face. Looks almost fake. Color correction is necessary. This is poor production quality. Do better! Look at the color contrast between Alyson's face with high yellow colors and the blue background. Embarrassing production quality. Viewer's can tell. And it detracts from the reporting. First Post with remote hosts will fail. Production quality must improve for it to succeed.
    3. Overall, Alyson lacks the gravitas of voice and the severity that Palki brings to such serious topics. Alyson is certainly capable of this, and a small change can correct for this quickly. A better mic may help significantly by itself, for all we know.

    MAZUNGUMZO (conversation) with Gen Z over Finance Bill 24/25 is a convenient way to identify leaders, buy some, blackmail some, evaporate some, confuse some, hospitalize some, bury some, and continue Zakayoring as if nothing is wrong.

    Zakayoring is the ideology of winning elections and running a modern country through maombi prayers in place of visionary leadership, sound policies, and a reliable bureaucracy.
