Kenyan youths ignited a wave of protests across the country against the 2024 finance bill two weeks ago.
The intensity of their demonstrations prompted President Ruto to acquiesce to their demands and withdraw the bill.
However, instead of relenting, Kenyans united to continue their protests, now targeting broader issues of bad governance, corruption, and misuse of government offices.
Calls for President Ruto’s resignation have echoed through the streets, reflecting deep-seated frustrations with leadership.
Despite these impassioned pleas, the president has remained steadfast, refusing to step down.
The impact of Kenya’s protests has reverberated globally, inspiring youth movements in various countries to follow suit.
Reports of Kenya’s demonstrations have spread worldwide, capturing the attention and solidarity of young people who seek similar reforms in their own nations.
