This story reminds me of the pre-revolutionary days in colonial America when Britain imposed a series of taxes on essential goods. The “Boston Tea Party” was one interesting episode from those days. I’m with the young people. Demand honest and transparent leaders. Good luck!🍀 🇺🇸🇰🇪🕊️❤️
I voted Ruto in with his wonderful words and promises. Every year has been a dissapointment with nothing to show for the taxes. Add insult to injury is his lavish and flamboyant personal life. We are Africans steuggking everyday to make honest living not Europeans in a strong economy economy. If he has been lying all along we will vote him out. The youth however will not wait to vote.
Do not look at politicians only, look at the wealthy groups behind politicians those with special interests. Bribery and lobbying are the tools used by those responsible behind these higher and higher costs of life. Get them!!
Kenya: Classic post colonial governance a la India. Taxing the hapless populace to feed the bottomless profligacy and greed of the ruling elites. In faithful continuation of Colonial Governance.
You're not innovative or hard working. There's no jobs because you're always dependent on exporting primary products of low value... the knowledge economy is tiny tiny.
Ruto mortgaged the nation and now Ruto wants them to pay it . Whilst he is flying private jets. . It saves him right . They need money to pay for Ruto's private jets. Off course they had to vote because Ruto invited his bosses to monitor the vote . Who would vote no when the sanction force is watching .
why protest? kenyan government want loans so they went to IMF and given huge demands and instead of thinking twice they decided to adhere to the terms which including closing down some companies,selling others,marging,increasing taxes and removing all subsidies like in petrol,bread,University education ,health insurance etc.That is when people felt the real pain especially the youth.
When the French government goes against the people and actively harms them , don't they take to the streets?This is a democracy the people are unhappy with their government,their government is harming them so they're are protesting it's their right .Or is protesting a new concept
The same government which got loaned by imf made no difference. No new projects. Instead, 80% of the money went into the politicians pockets. They can't suddenly increase taxes without proper accountability
And that is not even the problem. The problem is what the taxes will do. They're proposing a creation of both the first lady and second lady's office which will be financed by over 1.2 billion, Renovate DP'a office with almost a billion shillings, Get cars for them, it's more of taxes will finance their lavish lifestyle. It's not worth it
Our politicians just loot the loans, we pay for them, we don't need loans here... What's the point of taking the loans if a million dollars is being looted per day... In short we haven't asked for those loans so instead of listening to your western media, understand our grievances, the loans aren't for us it's for the president and his goons

Even I would be a better president and I'm not from Kenya 😂 what is the problem of just taking care about the people and doing everything to support them. But yes taxes are important but if I would be the president I rather put the money back into the country /people instead of my own pocket. If I want to get money I need to work for it and not steal it for others. It's a shame

Why is the video quality poor? Please improve it. Otherwise, to the outside world, it just looks like a video from a struggling African country. We reject this form of presenting the video color of the Middle East and Africa in dusty brown while videos from Europe are clear. Remove this prejudice.
Our country has become a struggling African country thats why people are protesting....whether the video is edited or not....the fact remains our Nation is one of the struggling African countries 😮.
Would they be happy if instead of increasing taxes, they cut subsidies and public services? I don't think so... Kenya in a couple of years will be a new South Africa.
It's not simply about tax increase, it's being continuously taxed when we barely see the fruits of that. We're already being taxed for so much, and they have the audacity to tax people who literally have no jobs. We're slaving in our own country man.
@@starlightHTI stayed in my country for years before moving out recently. I’ll explain this simply. The country has one of the highest unemployment rates. A large majority can’t afford comfortable living both and are struggling to afford food. The coming of Covid and global wars dampened the situation, unemployment shot up as people were laid off and inflation went up. The former government had subsidies to ease the burden, when the new one took over he removed these subsidies. Which the people agreed because he said they are expensive. The economy has not recovered and the struggles are still there. So increasing the taxes would make daily living beyond the population to be honest.
My Major Problem Is The Military, Don't They Go Through The Economic Hardship Too? Their Major Aim Is To Protect And Serve The Country, Not An Individual, Why Then Do They Kill And Harass Protesters Whenever They Stand Up To Fight For Their Rights. Same Thing Happened In Nigeria During The End Sars Protect. Africa Is Blessed With Everything, Except Good Leadership.
Feel shame, the fact that we that 3rd world country are fighting for our rights and standing up to a puppet president is a joke to you, says more about your idiocy more than our courage. This man is a known murderer, known thief, known executioner, you think he wins elections?? He wins by intimidating everyone. At least here in Kenya we have the courage to fight, we have enough knowledge to see where this thief is costing us. We are not wrong for fighting for change.
