I have actually a very controversial opinion. The fact that we stopped protesting at the withdrawal of the bill doesn't mean a thing. We as Kenyans need to permanently remove the whole governing authority to effect permanent change.We just dealt with the symptom but the virus is very much alive.
Instead of taxing people who cannot afford it, 1. Drastically cut salaries of MPs, cabinet ministers, Governors, etc 2. Make every county accountable for the money they spend 3. Stop corruption: hire an international audit firm like Kroll for their Fraud, Corruption and Money Laundering investigation services. Money recovered will be in $billions 4. Stop killing businesses with red tape & taxes. Business is the engine of development.
@@jacqdanieles I don't know anything about Kenya's politics, so I am trying to inform myself. On point 2., isn't the reason Kenya proposed this 2024 finance bill to pay back it's debt to the IMF?
@@mossie125that’s what the gov will say, but there’s many ways to pay back a debt outside of over-taxation. One of them is cutting down on expenditure. Kenya doesn’t have a revenue problem, it has an expenditure one. One of the main political factors motivating protesters is that our government is wasteful, over-spends and is corrupt. They have increased their own budgets on things like cars and houses, meanwhile increasing taxes for citizens during an unemployment/cost of living crisis. Many Kenyans recognize that we will probably have to increase taxes at some point to pay back the loan, but there is zero trust that this government are the ones who should lead that effort.

The problem is the debt repayments. This is not gone away. Someone has to lead to get out of this mess and just remember this is not the 1990s where debt was written off. It is Not going to happen.
What have they accomplished? Postponed the inevitable? When you reject something you have to offer an alternative and no one has. It's just embarrassing

You repeated the old news too much instead of building a story on what’s next after the protests. We have already seen the prostests and the reversing of the bill. So focus on interviews on where experts and people see happening in Kenya post this. The last seconds were fine with that gentleman about the next few days. The rest of the video is old news.
I understand the ire of the people, African governments often squanders monies, paying themselves and their families but on a whole reduction of foreign debt is a good policy, foreign lenders come to Africa to steal it’s resources, Africa should find its sovereign and not kowtow by increasing debt
Argentina voters elected first Libertarian President but U.S. voters are not allowed to listen to Presidential Libertarian candidate for last 53 years at all US televised debates including yesterday’s debates between Presidents Biden and Donald Trump.
Stop been ignorant...The bill has very many bad clauses....for example land ownership in kenya is very emotive...we can always talk to Brentwood institutions but we will not be dictated....better poverty than loosing sovereignty.......

The toll death is higher than 20 in Githurai alone it was above 200, and for Rongai it's still not known

Withdrawal of the bill is not enough. Now that Ruto killed youth we want him to resign.

That debts must be audited. The Kenyan youth suspect that some of that debt is odious debt.
The owners of the money needs their money and those who borrowed to squandered and loot should pay for it and not the innocent masses who know not.
Kenya’s 🇰🇪 protests and violence arise from unemployment, poverty and inequality. African leaders they underdevelopment to their country
No, thats not the reason

Thats a very important question. It was the main reason Kenyan protested, the bill just catalysed it
Talk about the human rights abuses
Peace to 🇰🇪 Kenya from India 🇮🇳
The real question is how does (or does not ) the US benefit from this…??
In terms of interests earned from the borrowed loans. They operate shylock like organizations.
Kenyan policies will benefit Kenyans not the US not the UN or the IMF. The people have spoken.
