Hi Al Jazeera. Tha title of the video states “Kenya- Nairobi tax hikes.” The proposed tax hikes are not just for people living in Nairobi but in the entire country regardless of region, from the young to the old, middle class to unemployed, from bread to cancer treatment. Yes, the government will not provide health coverage for terminal illnesses but they want to tax treatment for terminal illnesses. That’s why people are angry NATIONALLY, not just in Nairobi.
@@user-ns7dj1lo3rif you think this is about Azimio you are most delusional human being on earth. I voted for Ruto but up to now has done nothing but nonsensical and useless governance.
You people have been poisoned by Azimio media until you have believed a lie. The greatest threat to Kenya today is Azimio media. They constantly attack the president & incite Kenyans daily to hate this government. They spew propaganda, intimidate the president & twist facts to suite a negative narrative.
This is very true, we need to stand up against corrupt politicians and all those hindering Kenyan development. I mean we should be developed like Singapore currently. WE STAND AGAINST DIVISION ,TRIBALISM AND EVIL LEADERSHIP.
Spot on! Exactly why we are where we are. The additional taxes will still go to the corrupt politicians' pockets. Corruption needs to be addressed. Protesters need to get the demo agenda right.
People of Kenya 🇰🇪 already struggling. Government greed needs to stop. Good for the people. The tax increase coes to billions. With the cost of living already hard. How dare a greedy corrupt president get away with this.
Thank you aljazeera, kenyans are paying price for our leader decided to serve colonial master insted of citizens. Kenya is very poor country but the way he auctioned it other people may think this country is rich . Upside down he will deal with GenZ not other generations, we wont loose anything even if we die battling. Pin this comment @aljazeera
Double speak from one of the most corrupt Kenyans. Even Ruto's Phd is based on corruption. Meanwhile his cronies are running around 'donating' money to charities. Where does this money come?? His friends in Dubai??😮😮😡
Actually, these demonstrations do not have particular leaders. This means the government cannot call individuals to discuss or halt the demonstrations. This should scare the government, especially given the fact that it’s the youth in the forefront. The intensity will grow and the potential of overwhelming the police is real!
This is a One term president if he likes it or not, very corrupt person who thinks he is right in everything yet he knows nothing only stealing. Amalize yake tano aende kapisa umbwa yeye

Honestly it saddens me to see my country in such peril .. but i hope this serves as a lesson to kenyans wheb elections comes ...now we see what our actions have caused...we cant blame him uet we voted him in...we did this to ourselves.. sad
We elected someone who imposed to be like us "hustler" later on he loughed at us and started raising tax day in day out we are tired. We thought all will be well after electing someone who started from scratch. Now he says he will raise tax until 22% of GDP . He started comparing Kenya to other developed countries like french. We are tired and confused
😂😂😂 “..started from scratch…” Are you really serious? Could you tell me three things that Ruto did in his ‘political’ career that would make you think he will be a good leader? Be serious! He’s a person who is used to leaving off the fat n sweat of Kenyans. He got wealthy during Moi’s last days from being a youth leader who kept hundreds of millions of shillings
I don't support the tax bill. But western media 😂 like come on always do like to air negative issues of Africa.. shame on you Al jazeera.. You will never see positive or productive matters posted here
This year , alot of innovative 💡 ideas and technologies have been occurring throughout the continent. Tanzania 🇹🇿 recently launched SGR but no we won't cover that we are waiting for chaotic news right Admin? You and your administration should be ashamed.
Azimio protesters calling themselves GenZ should follow the law & look for a venue like a stadium to air your griviences. You can't protest on the streets & inconvenience other kenyans going about their business. Btw...not all kenyans support your protests. It's only Azimio supporters who are out on the streets. Kenya kwanza supporters support their government & believe in its agenda.
The cost of living in Kenya is nothing compared to the developed world. One piece of mango fruit bought in Kenya at a cost of 20 shillings cost an equivalent of 350 shillings in Australia. Ovacado bought in kenya at a cost of 35 shillings is equivalent to 500 shillings in Australia. Kenyans complaining about cost of living looks like a joke to Australians. Today many Australians are moving to third world countries & working remotely becoz of high cost of living in their own country. This is a phenomenon throughout the entire developed world.
@@marymusungu9435So why are mzungus moving to third world countries like Kenya to work remotely?. They actually say the quality of life is much better here in Kenya becoz they can afford it compared to their own countries . It's even better for them becoz of free visa entrance to Kenya.
That does not prove high cost of living, unless you don't understand what it is. Why did you leave out the fact that an average Kenyan in 2024 earns 30,000 Ksh while an average Australian earns 7427 AUD which translates to 641, 795 Ksh. Who among the two has a better purchasing power?
@@rickyricardo4496 You don't understand economics. The president for the last 1&1/2 years has opened up markets for agricultural products to many western countries amounting to potential billions of dollars but you are too lazy to go the farm & start working becoz it's beneath your PHD or master's degree. You want to do office work & clerical work at a blue collar job in Nairobi. Pakistan exports Himalayan salt to the western countries at a cost of hundreds of millions in profit annually. Problem with wafrika they can't think, they only blame others for their low IQ & lack of imagination.
We challenge the Australians you are mentioning to quit their well paying jobs in their countries and earn a living on a Kenyan salary of 30k a month to see if they will still be shocked as to why Kenyans are protesting about the cost of living! Then again the high taxes paid in Europe works for them ie most European countries education is free up to university, health care is free or subsidized depending on country you are in and transportation are also free and or affordable in some European countries
