Political unrest in Kenya erupted into violence Tuesday as authorities opened fire on protesters in Nairobi who oppose President William Ruto’s controversial tax bill. Hundreds of people stormed the legislature and burned part of the building. Meanwhile, inside, lawmakers voted to pass the tax measure, which will raise the cost of many everyday items to pay down government debt. The new taxes have sparked weeks of youth-led demonstrations as many call for Ruto to resign, and the president responded to Tuesday’s events by deploying the military to crack down on the protests. At least 22 people have been killed and dozens more injured in the nationwide protests. We speak with Faith Odhiambo, president of the Law Society of Kenya, who describes how high unemployment and disinvestment in social services led to the mass unrest, and to activist Auma Obama, sister of former U.S. President Barack Obama. “The Kenyan people are struggling, especially the young people,” says Obama, who was tear-gassed by police Tuesday. “The debt is irresponsible, and it is a pattern that has repeated again and again on the continent.”

Ruto is a friend of the west, but an enemy of Kenya.
Familiar equation
Biden's puppet
He is globalist puppet who wants slaves not citizens WAKE UP PEOPLE PROTECT YOUR FAMILY PROTECT YOUR FREEDOM GOD BLESS
That’s not true! Emergence and development comes with cost and sacrifices it is not free.
You can be a friend of the Russians or Chinese then lol
"My brother is not my half brother. We don't do that in Kenya"
- Auma Obama
Do you agree with her?
True, most African languages do not have a direct word for step brother.
@@Jakayo-my7sj I don't think that's what she meant
Yeap abrother is a brother or not abrother. Afriend is a friend,or not a friend.There is nothing like 1/2 friend. In my tribe there is nothing like half sister.Even those from polygamous families, wife are cowives,not second, third,forth...etc. But I get it the west is looking at this relationships through their one eyes.Experts warn us to learn about other people's culture before we venture there.This simple directive would avoid lots of embarrassment...
Maybe she wanted to say a brother that doesn't have his right or left body side!
Yes this is the view of people of African descent. Even African Americans don’t use half siblings they just say that is my brother or sister.
We don't do half-siblings in Africa... beautifully said!
africa does ebola
Ruto might be good for the West but not for Kenya 🇰🇪.
The problem with Kenyans is that they believe in superstition. We expect employment, development and low cost of living yet we don't want to contribute anything. We will remain this way until we will have no other option, until we will be colonized for the second time 😅
Her brother might be good for Kenya, but he certainly isn't for the West, especially America.
You mean, 'Good for the white supremist in the west", for he is certainly not good for Haiti.
As we speak, Kenyan troops are there to prevent the people from fighting against colonial oppressions.
Ruto and these Kenyans are the whip bearers for the slave master.; so that they can lie and say it's black on black. NO NEIGHBOR IN THE CARIBBEAN AGREED TO THIS!!!
Jamaica is right next door. Look how far Kenyans came from! Today for you, tomorrow for us!!! Whatever you do comes back to you!
And Ruto is black like tar...One day, I want the Haitians to actually grab that...(!!!!)
@@jonwolff8222 Name a single measurable metric in US federal poiltics that was NOT immensely better under Obama than it was under Trump or is now.
Please! Go on. One single factual measurement. I dare you. No talking points: actual societal data.
Less crime, less debts, better unemployment, higher worker pay rates, higher healthcare coverage, better public school results, more college educations per capita ... I could go on.
But I´ll let you name opposing examples. If you have any?
Definitely not for Haiti. He made me think about how they sold black people to slavery.
" he is just my brother , we don t do halves in Kenya " ..... excellent answer !! ❤❤
😂 what a nice answer ❤
peferct answer we Africans dont do "halves"✊🏽
"He's not my half brother, he is just my brother" this is profound because Western liberal values need to learn family should not be separated and segregated based off arbitrary "both parents"... its so embarrassing to those in the rest of the world
You are right
Well said!
We don’t have half brother or half sister in Africa, great answer
Kenyan police have zero business in Haiti.
They don't even speak the language man shyt wouldn't it be better for African truth from the French speaking part of Africa because they speak the language
Oh my goodness man that poor chair😅😊
The police are trapped by Ruto, the puppet of the West.
They are not even trained to fight in a war
Amy’s last question was out of line. US needs to get out of Kenya, and US intervention is not wanted by the people.
You are 100% correct! The US is responsible for everything that Ruto does! He's their puppet!
It's British colony and still British colony to date!!

Why do they call the lady a "half-sister", she's a whole person

thats is poor words of English language
Same Father but a different Mother!!
Half sister/brother means you only share one parent. So if you have the same mother but a different father or vice versa.
I'm so glad she corrected her on her ignorance.
They are poor , how can you tax the poor ?? What jackass's
Called government/private banking/corporations living of the poor while doing the work for Masters to tax back
You must be new to government and corporations. The largest wealth transfers have happened in the last 4 years to the top 1% in history..
Yeah, the Kenyan shilling is if I'm not mistaken, worthless, and if they dare to pass that bill it could get worse
I beg to differ with you. Both rich and poor pay taxes. The Bible says, give to ceaser, government, what belong to Caesar, government, ... Tax. Whenever you, Rich or poor buy anything in shops, you pay a taxes. So our president Dr Ruto is not a jackass for requiring us, rich and poor to give to ceaser, government, what belongs to ceaser, government ... Taxes By the way mind your language. Heshima si utumwa.
@@RealGilbertGansir, I beg to differ with you. Kenyan shilling is not worthless. It has gained value compared to USD and other currencies in the forex trading markets. Do you agree?

Hearing anyone from an older generation saying "we made this mess" and taking responsibility for starting positive change is refreshing and inspiring.
It's good to know and to remember that people you say are older generation, your fathers and mothers brought you up, some of your old, Old grandparents fought the colonialist for Kenya to be independent from colonial rule. The the old generation, your fathers and mothers and some of your grandparents fought against dictatorship and one party state and brought the democracy you are enjoying in Kenya. We know what has happened, what should happen and the error you are committing by attempting to use force to overthrow our democratically elected president and government. Ask "baba", (Hon Raira Odinga), he will testify to you the truth that in August 1982, many old and young people in Kenya, in cooperation with some Kenya air force officers attempted a coup d'etat to overthrow president Daniel Arap Moi's government. It was illegal and unconstitutional and their coup d'etat failed because God was not in the plan. I know that God is not in your militant attempt to take over the state house and overthrow our democratically elected president and government. You, Gen z will not succeed in overthrowing our democratically elected president and government. You have the power of numbers unless the government allow you to overthrow it to avoid blood shed in Kenya, which is very doubtful, you Gen Z, will not succeed in your agenda to replace our democratically elected president and government with a government firmed by opposition leaders who lost in the 2022 general elections. This is because, believe it or not, there many peace and order loving Kenyan christians, patriots and citizens who don't like your militant groups who terrorize innocent civilians and business people by vandalism in the streets of Nakuru, Nairobi and Mombasa and Nyeri. Such Kenyans know that our president Dr Williams Ruto has listened to your democratic voice and withdrawn the finance bill but you still insist on going to the state house to overthrow him. Many Kenyans may stand by and enjoy your Tibim, Tiarara, Ria etc verbal slogans and drama but they don't at heart support your agenda for violent and bloody coup d'etat against our Kenya government. You need to know that every God fearing nation has a guardian angel from God in the high places above it's boundaries. Believe that the guardian angel whom God placed in charge of the welfare of the people in the nation of Kenya doesn't like politics based on hate, revenge, and violent blood shed. That is why politicians who base their political campaigns on hate, revenge, disunity and threats of using terror and violence, unreasonable arguments against the government always fail to win presidential elections inspite of the huge crowds of people who show up in their presence and appear to enjoy their dramatic narratives and proverbs. If you Gen z wish to win the hearts of Kenyans for political success in 2027 general elections, cast down your mischievous madness of attempting to the use unconstitutional and illegal way to overthrow our democratically elected president and government. Politics is like love. You cannot win the heart of a beautiful, clever, serious and peace loving lady by arrogantly exposing to her your potential to fierce anger, murder of neighbors, brutality, violence, hatred, impatience with people and corruption. I was young and now an old. Age, experience and knowledge of Kenyan voters has convinced me that Kenyans don't like to give presidential powers to politicians who display the above barbaric characteristics. Kenyans don't trust such politicians and will not trust you now and in 2027 elections unless you change your coup d'etat strategy for getting into the state house to legal democratic way of presidential elections or other legally acceptable ways.
A Hungry man is an Angry man, oh what a situation - Bob Marley
Our president, Dr William Ruto, has decided to drop off the finance bill and the price of unga (maize flour) has been reduced. Therefore are not so hungry now and no need of carrying anger in our bosoms. Let us leave the streets protests and go back hustling.
bumbo claaat truth
But it is well known that ruto is and has been a criminal who masquerades in churches lying to the poor
That X-ICC criminal should resign 😡
Can you imagine...
No please. Think again. Our president Dr Williams Ruto is a God fearing man, a patriot and nationalist. I know he is a man in the hands of God but he is not a god. He has never claimed to be perfect and many times he has publicly asked Kenyans for prayers and forgiveness. Dr Ruto is aways ready to reconcile with his enemies to ensure the reign of peace love and unity in Kenya. Ruto has a reverse gear to enable him correct his doubtful steps. Dr Ruto is not a coward and not a thief. Whether you nickname Dr Ruto "Zacchaeus" or not, our government needs money to pay our national debts and fund our national budget. Instead of attempting to sabotage his government to please the opposition, Kenyans should unite and pray for our president, our country, and for peace, love, unity and prosperity in our beloved country of Kenya. Thanks and God bless you.
@@nginarnn7998No please, he should never resign. Remember that the ICC judges set him free and God and Kenyans forgave him like he forgave you and me. Yes, our president Dr Ruto should remain in office until he meet his opponents in the 2027 presidential elections. That is democracy!
His best friends are the pastors of your churches.his wife invited a televangelist Toufick benedictus ( Benny) the Kenyans peoples paid for that trip

You know not what you are saying.

@Xx-po1fu We weren't born there.
Unfortunately he stood up more for the corporations & banks, & wanted to be part of the neoliberal establishment.

Hope we get a better president

Sure, I too hope we get the best president for our growing nation of Kenya. But I am sorry to observe that I, an old man do see a democratic and peaceful wise Gen Z presidential candidate for 2027. Why? Because I can't trust any leader who walks in the streets chanting hate speech against our parliamentary leaders and president and gathering people to take over the parliament building and the state house, to overthrow our democratically elected president and government contrary our conversation and laws of our country. A person followed by a mob that moves around trespassing private property and stealing from innocent Kenyans, breaking into private businesses and looting and causing fear in the hearts of Kenyans should never be elected as the president of oil great country of Kenya.
If you can't control your followers and supporters and psycophants who trespass private property and businesses looting private goods terrorizing innocent Kenyans civilians as they follow and cheer you, means that you are a corrupt leaders supported by corrupt people who support you partly because you set them free to do as they wish in the streets of our country. What about if you become the president of Kenya, would be able to control your followers and supporters in the government? Of course not.
Whenever the IMF is involved in the supposed financial help of a country, a lot of harsh measures are introduced in that country that pressures the common man. Many times, the harsh measures do not even correct the financial issues, just look at Egypt and Argentina as examples
You know not what you are saying. IMF has helped Kenya for many years in many ways.
@@user-nl4bu3wh8c Well, I am just expressing my observation, I noticed the IMF have been helping Argentina for a decade now and they are still in a financial mess
Kenyan oligarchs want more luxury.
Pray for Kenya
I am not praying. Kenya and most of Africa was exploited by white christians. Maybe the European government should pay rather than extracting huge amounts of money through the IMF.
Thanks for your request for Kenyans and the world to pray for Kenya. God bless you and keep you safe praying for Kenya. I ❤ you.
Still praying looking up in the sky and muzungu control the richest lands under your feet
Ruto must go
Say it again, brother...
Many Kenyans don't want our democratically elected president to leave office. I think you, Gen z funs of the opposition in Kenya, must learn to be patient wait until the 2027 presidential elections in Kenya for Kenyans to decide whether our president Dr Williams Ruto will leave office or not. Your political leaders were defeated in 2022 presidential elections and I'm the supreme court, now you are attempting to use a discarded finance bill to incite us and terrorize us to support your agenda for overthrowing our democratically elected government and our democratically elected president. We are not foolish, we can see what our opposition leaders are doing through you perhaps with help from outsiders. Remember that in God we trust.
"We don't do halves here" Well said.
For a minute it sounded like Auma Obama was talking about the US rather than Kenya. Unfair taxes, irresponsible leaders, horrible financials, unsustainable policies.
And, of course, the IMF and World Bank never predicted ANY of this in the risk analysis and projections before granting the loan. They never had any notion of the standard of government, unstable industries and businesses, and/or the level of corruption. No.
..oh the Bretton Wood twins are back. They devastated much of subsaharan Africa in the 1990's until there was no more economy to destroy with there so called Structural Adjustment Programs.
Of course they did...they have spent 5 decades, along with the ratings agencies claiming Africa is "risky" for investment- yet they lent Mobutu billions, and Nigerias military leaders billions, etc. They KNOW! They are the ones who parrot on about "fiduciary" yet they chose to look askance...their intent is obvious: to entrap by means of debt. It is ODIOUS DEBT as far as 99% of Africans are concerned.
The bond holders and creditors might as well forget about it. They can write it off to the sins of colonialism! PERIOD. END OF STORY. Or they can declare WAR on the African Continent and send ICBMs, biochem weapons, the neutron bomb (as they previously experimented on Camerronians), and all their armies, marines, airforce and navies and see if they can obliterate Africa and their demons!!!
They don’t care about that cuzz they actually love it when u default on the loan. That is a tool for controlling u. The western world use debt default to carry out their neocolonial agenda.
Thank you lawa society president for standing for the truth
This is the true face of Ruto.
Ms Auma, your future political career begins here. An exceptionally good response to the last question...
“Gen Wazee” (wa-ZAY): that’s such a good way to describe this. Putting elders off their ancestral land to fund the Kenyan oligarchs is awful. The financial disparity in Kenya is one of the world’s worst.
Gen - wazee's Kenyans are older than Gen z and age teach. As long as human beings dwell in the world, there will always be rich and poor with income gaps between them. In capitalistic nations people are free to look for wealth in legal ways they judge profitable. We should be a working nation and not wait for our government to give us wealth and money.
I don't trust 'Airhostess' Ruto for what he says; he does the opposite always. He is on a money milking spree for the sake of funding his daily international travels and feeding his cabinet and close associates. We want a better Kenya for ourselves, and we're going to make it so. No relenting.
You are the one who is lying. Don't you know that every government requires tax revenue to operate? Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar... Do you know that? The finance bill, tax bill is no longer in force so stop your hate speech against our president. Unajua ya kwamba heshima si utumwa. Unaamini hivyo?
@@user-nl4bu3wh8c Here goes Ruto's puppet. The kind of extravagance and corruption in Ruto's government does not justify his need to for our taxes .Away with your spiritual blackmail. Without 2024 finance bill, 2023 finance bill is still in effect. What we're saying is that we don't need to pay more taxes without better services. Occupy Ruto's online puppets!!!
Let me ask where the money going 😢
Great professional reporting by Amy and her specially renowened guests! Thnx for updating us , your viewers!
No country can develop without taxation. How do you expect the nation to service the foreign debts?
Thanku for giving Kenyan activists the opportunity to explain the opposition to new taxes imposed to pay the un-payable debt to IMF at the expense of the people of Kenya- as Alma Obama said how can you tax young people when 50% of them are unemployed or old people who have lived in ancestral homes they’ve owned for thousands of years? And the question remains WHY does the IMF give loans to poor countries that cannot pay them back? Like Kenya, like other poor countries in Africa and Central and South America? And let’s look at how Puerto Ricans suffer economically and in every other way due to huge debts to the IMF and World Bank that they can’t repay.
Sorry to differ with you but allow me to say that the true reason why the
pro-opposition parties youth group calling themselves Gen Z started protesting is not wholly because of
the finance bill and taxes. They started protesting after the opposition leaders were defeated in parliament. Then the opposition leaders incited their youths followers to protests. Definitely you know that even after our president withdrawn the finance bill and taxes and called the protesters for a dialogue to settle the matter amongst others, the opposition leaders lead the youth to insist on protesting and going to the state house to overthrow our democratically elected president out of office. That is treason! Do you disagree? If the cause of your protests was the hardness of the finance bill and taxes and in complete compliance to your demands our president, Dr William Ruto, subject to your democratic right, withdrew the bill and taxes. If you're now not required to pay the taxes that you complained about, then why are you still protesting and publicly planning to go take over the state house and overthrow our democratically elected government demanding our democratically elected president to resign contrary to our conversation and laws? Don't lie! Your agenda for protesting was not the finance bill and taxes but to demonize our democratically elected president in order to force him to resign and leave the state house and presidency to make a way for a re-election and ushering a member of the opposition in the office of the president of Kenya. If don't believe me, ask you opposition parties leaders.

My family visits our relatives in Kenya almost every year but not sure now!
Auma sounds like a genuine woman unlike her brother who is all about the taxation of the citizens and crushing debt she understands the damage these two things actually do to the most vulnerable of a society. Perhaps she should take the reigns of power in Kenya.
The people must never pay for a government mismanagement...
There should be a bill to deal robustly with corrupted government officials and to retrieve money...
The financial bill was worse than an insult and it waa sad that it cost 25 young people their lives ,the fact that the government headed by mr Ruto attempted to implement that bill he head should be gone .he rejected his own bill because what would have ensued the cost waa to heavy .... the kenyan people
Zax declared war to his citizens, never condoled, and AKAINGIZIA watu baridi. Nonetheless, now that Zax returned the Bill, the people's next demand should be for the government to release abducted and imprisoned youths detained during the FB protests. Additionally, the prosecution of all corruption scandals that occurred during the Uhuru administration and the current Kenya Kwanza regime within the next eight months, and resignation and freezing assets of all the culprits (Aror, Kimwarer, KEMSA, NYS, Euro-Bond, Fuel Subsidy Mismanagement, NHIF, Cooking Oil Scandal, Linturi Scandal). My view as a concerned Kenyan.

*"Another primary means of dumbing down America is through mass media.* If the public is busily preoccupied with the superficial garbage spoon-fed to the masses every single day via television, movies, music, internet, video games that all act just as effective as the most potent drug dulling the senses and the brain, again an enormous control over the population is achieved and maintained. With so much entertainment as the modern day opiate to the masses to divert people’s attention, these weapons of mass distraction easily render people oblivious to see what is really happening in the world. Compound that with the lowest common denominator appealing to the most prurient interests such as pornography, crass materialism (using mind control techniques to manipulate consumers into spending money on false promises of sex, status and happiness), entertainment that dually serves as propaganda along with the mesmerizing effects captivated by sports that also draw enormous amounts of money, and the oligarchs have us right where they want us - numbed and dumbed.
Even the flicker rates of televisions, videos, computers and cinema by design are all programmed to contain hidden properties that physically resonate and alter the human brain’s alpha wave state to induce a hypnotic, mesmerizing, trancelike state of mind. This literally drugs and distorts the cognitive processes of the mass audience being subliminally fed input that modify and shape values, moral and ethical messages and multiple autosuggestions that carry powerful binding effects on people’s unconscious minds and future behavior. This too is another form of calculated brainwashing, mind control as well as behavior control that the media as vehicles of propaganda and disinformation constantly utilize. The constant 24/7 sensory bombardment that media puts on humans is one highly effective means of control over both culture and population." - *Article* - *"The Dumbing Down of America - By Design".*

Haiti is fighting for the same thing Kenya is fighting for. They are not gangs.
You are not informed. In Haiti, gang intending to take over the government are terrorizing innocent civilians hence the need for a peace keeping force. Just listen to the social media and note what some leaders of the opposition parties in Kenya are telling members of Gen Z in the streets and you will understand that their barbaric aim is to make Kenya be like Haiti. Is that what you want? God forbid! In Kenya we love peace, love and unity and all patriotic Kenyans must rise up now and defend our country from falling into the the Haiti condition. Would you like to see foreign mercenaries brought to Kenya to defend Kenyans from the tyranny and persecution from our fellow Kenyans? If you love peace, order and unity in Kenya, then stop the mischievous madness of attempting to take over the government by force. If you don't stop that mischievous agenda, many Kenyans will rise up to oppose you, saying enough is enough and you, our Gen z, will cause a civil strive never seen in Kenya and will degrade Kenya to look like Haiti today. Your undemocratic path has the potential of degrading our great country to look like Haiti.
He must leave the state house
Not now. Our president should not leave office and your should not attempt to take your militant, disorderly and indecent mob to State House. Don't try s coup d'etat for it's illegal, it's tresspass, it's treason and can lead to arrested, long time in prison or even death.

Demanding more taxes en misusing them,surely!!
Well said Obama
This is so politically planned. Once Kenya got to Haiti this is going on in Kenya. The super power's hands are all over this.
The superpowers have their own will but for us in kenya the mission in Haiti is a rogue assignment and the government as it stands is an illegitimate one
You are lying. The Gen Z militant protests is politically motivated and well planned. It took shape after the opposition was defeated in parliament. If not politically motivated why did the members of the opposition join you in the streets and encourage you to continue protesting even after our president announced our government's withdrawal of the finance bill. Why aren't you insisting on going to the state house to take over the state house. Don't your leaders tell you that attempting to take over the state house amounts to a coup d'etat, overthrowing our democratically elected government? Your lie is so clear as day.
Why is the IMF not monitoring and controlling the utilization of the borrowed fund? Why allow the funds to be mismanaged and put pressure on the people indirectly through their leaders?
That was nice Auma. We don't have halfs in Kenya 😊.
Ruto = CORRUPT!
Oh no! Our president Dr Williams Ruto is working hard to fight corruption and God help him to fight a good fight against corruption.
Kenyans are amazingly brave people. The people decide what matters to them not the government.
Poor countries' so called debt to rich countries needs to be cancelled, but it won't be. What better way to control someone or a whole nation, to use and abuse, and worse. Humans are not very nice are they😢. I despair.
Thank you Auma abama good bless you my beautiful color ❤ 🙏🇨🇩 don't answer nice.
Ruto is an animal...he deserves no one
Hi Gen Z fun. Your statement saying our democratically elected president is an animal is so wrong and useless. Dr Williams Ruto our beloved president is a total human being with no trace of animal in him. Remember that in August 2023, during the last presidential elections, This because in our last general elections the majority of Kenyans voters recognized his love for Kenyans by democratically elected him to be the legal president of Kenya. The fact that our president Dr Williams Ruto defeated your opposition party presidential candidate in August 2022 didn't make our president Dr Williams Ruto an animal. I wonder how you can see an animal in our beloved president Dr Williams Ruto. Nevertheless I don't blame you because perhaps you are suffering from amnesia which is not your fault but of the devil the enemy of human beings.
Take your anger to UN , let them help !! Protesting and burning buildings doesnt help !! Oh she protested , for gen Z , so she doesnt represent all Kenya , so why is her voice important , its not !! Take her to UN for her speech ! Ohhh credit debt , damn your talking about the USA too !! Well if you don't borrow you wont have debt ! Economics is not that hard !! The USA should not do anything for Kenya , work your own stuff out. We have economic and social issues too !!!!
Does not help unless / part of summer of love
You just don't get it. We have leaders who take debts and waste it on their luxury and cause the country to have debts forcing the cost of living to be high but with no jobs and too much taxes. Its realistic to pay taxes and having a system that works. But we are paying too much taxes with no working system.
Who told you we need your help ?
Perhaps USA benefits from Kenya more than we do
We don't need charity
We have resources to satisfy our needs
What we lack is good governance of that wealth
You are all over the place. Why would UN help? They voted for their politicians not for UN workers.
Very sad people lost their life, but you guys are real men and women, you guys has made history in Africa i love you guy's courage love from Biafra
As long as Kenya doesn't cut ties with USA, it won't prosper and hope the young generation is aware of this and will take steps like most other nations✊️
you're right.
Blessings sister 😢...
Well said...
How can you bless one who utters such disrespect to our president? Are you a Christian? We are taught to respect those in authority. To show respect is not slavery. Do you agree? Good day.
We had a president from Kenya...
That's rubbish because proven to be wrong.
Seriously my sister Auma
Exactly we africa do not say simbling we are brothers and sisters even though your father / mother has other children in another place
Wonderful in Kenya while US remained silence!!
Biden does not care about black countries.Blacks should not even vote for him.
Because the u.s are hypocrites they support dictators like Ruto who has killed his own brothers and sisters but they have a problem with Putin doing the same
I'm and worild bank and chain leave africa african alone we are not be selves for our resources again
And further more on debt ,why are we paying for it and yet it is not in our pockets and no project we did
I feel like i should pinch whoever drafted Kenya's 2024 financial bill
Had the government listened to Kenyans from the first day of protests, this would have been prevented
I beg to differ with you. You need to understand that the leaders of the ongoing militant Gen z protesters copied the mob protests strategy from the pro-hamas and pro-palestinians protesters in UK, USA, France, Germany and Canada etc. They saw that if they incite large numbers of ignorant Kenyan youth using the finance bill problem, they can overwhelm the police like pro-palestinians in London UK and USA etc, used the Hamas-Israel war and humanitarian crisis in Gaza to incite large militant extremists groups to overwhelm the police in these nations in order to have an excuse to propagate their Islamic jihadists agenda in Europe and America. Now here in Kenya, the leaders of the opposition to our government are using the finance bill to incite large militant groups of young Kenyans in order to overwhelm our national security infrastructure like the police, GSU and the army operation in Kenya in order to use the finance bill crises as the platform to demonize our democratically elected president and government and destroy his PR to achieve their agenda for bringing down our democratically elected government, overthrowing our democratically elected government of Kenya and removing our democratically elected president Dr William Ruto from power. This is the reason why even after our president explained the reason for the finance bill and declares it null and void, the leaders of the opposition still insist on protesting and going to the state house to revive out our president. Their aim was not to shoot down the financial bill but to shoot down our government. I hope you now understand. Good day.
Ruto has been always a killer pretending to be a devoted christian😢
A wolf in human form. Ruto is a Recognised murderer
@@EdnaMbela No madam Edna.our president is not recognized as a murderer. That's a terrible lie and I urgent you to cast it away from your heart.
IMF needs to re-assess its lending policies and reveal its TRUE intentions: WHY would you lend to a borrower who at the time of lending is not in a viable position to pay you back? I think it is just a disguised form of colonialism.
Countries need to put it to a referendum; let the citizens decide whether the country should take on debt and explain the need for the debt, all in a referendum before going to borrow on behalf of a country and then expecting the citizens to foot the bill. Office of the First lady! WHy does a first lady even need an office? For what? Some of these things are just criminal!
The pain of working and all goes to tax and you end up walking with empty wallets and eating 1meal per 2days😢😢😢
Kenyan Govt earned millions of $$$ every year fron tourism and game hunting. Where did the money go ? 🤑🤑🤑
Kenya doesn't have game hunting.
@@fidha254 oic 🤔
Why don't you go to your home country office and ask your governor where he takes the money he receives from the central government?
Love love MR obama s sisters " My Brother is my Brother not half Brother We dont fo halves here in Kenya" I even shed a tear to her snswer SEE WORLD LEARN FROM THIS LADY, this is Unity.
10:12 as soon as they start mentioning debt that's when the coughing starts happening and they gotta stop the interview and change the subject
Having the name of Obama is definately not a recommendation! I hope the Kenyans get their freedom from the US/IMF puppet Ruto! And for all those that have lost family members in the protests, I am very sorry for your loss, may they RIP! 😢
Freedom from USA? What do you mean? Kenya is not a colony of USA. What you see between Kenya and USA is good and mutual international relationship. If your comment represents the feeling of Gen Z towards USA, then putting a Gen z government in power will endanger Kenya's international relationship with USA and other international economic and political partners.

hates capitalism, what they call capitalism is actually exploitation, where the purest form is slavery! America's hegemony is all about avoiding competition which is central to capitalism! This is China's sin for example...they don't want to compete!
