Kenyan Protests Continue Amid Broader Demand for Change Despite President's Reversal

ai generated text

In Kenya, a youth-driven protest movement has been gaining momentum, with reports emerging of protesters going missing. The protests, dubbed a "total shutdown," aim to occupy parliament in Nairobi, the capital city. Authorities have responded by setting up barriers on roads leading to the presidential residence, amid uncertainty over how much President William Ruto's decision to retract the finance bill will appease the protesters.

  1. Raila Odinga
    African Union
    1. The youth have given our country its last best chance.
  2. Kithure Kindiki
    Kenya National Police Service
    1. Protesters must not obstruct, block, vandalize, or otherwise destroy any private or public property.
  3. KE
    Rigathi Gachagua
    1. There would have been no mayhem, but they slept on the job.
  4. KE
    William Ruto
    United Democratic Movement
    1. He needs to reshuffle his cabinet and economic advisers which will send a signal that will create the goodwill required. At that point, a government-led conversation can take place.
    2. I am not going to preside over a bankrupt country, I am not going to preside over a country that is in debt distress.

    1. Anybody I speak to on the street [when I am reporting], they'll always say the same thing. 'I don't trust President Ruto, I don't trust what he's saying.' That is why we are at a stalemate. There's no one leading the protests. The youth are just speaking with one voice.
    2. Listening keenly to the people of Kenya who have said loudly that they want nothing to do with this finance bill 2024, I concede. And therefore, I will not sign the 2024 finance bill, and it shall subsequently be withdrawn.
