Ruto should resign!!😮
Finally the good people of Kenya won. Enough respect to all Kenya youth.
Much love from Nigeria
We want him to resign
Not enough Ruto, you have to step down..
Nigerians are behind you Kenyans.. stay on course
If he is not flying he is lying
Lol
Angry seeing Africans hurting their fellow men
RUTO IS CORRUPT HE MUST GO HE HAS NO ACCOUNTABILITY TRANSPARENCY
HONESTY
THIS IS MAN IS EVIL .
Shameless Ruto ,shame on you
HUNDREDS have been killed. That continues to happen. State sanctioned illegal abductions of Kenyan citizens continue despite the retoric intended for international audience. He's killing our children.
REST IN PURE POWER our children
#rutoMustGoNow
I came here looking for Palki
Ruto requested to meet the Gen Z delegation for dialogue. We have heard his call, and we accept. We will meet him today in Statehouse.
He will not believe. #RutoMustGo #OccupyStateHouse
#ROADTOSTATEHOUSE
RUTO MUST GO!!!!!
Wrong...there is no such tradition or convention that Deputy Speaker will be from opposition.
We should all be as brave as Kenyans. 🇰🇪
[:"Ruto's correct; it's treason. Who's has the duty and responsiblity to provide goods and services for the citizens; the elected officials."]
I’m proud of my Kenyans neighbors! I wish we Ethiopians have the your small fraction of unity and testosterone to bravely fight for our right!
Special seating of Parliament must happen to withdraw this bill. No cuts to the judiciary, cancellation/dissolve all unconstitutional offices the CDF only then will citizens believe.
You didn't get facts totally correct. I'm Kenyan and our BIGGEST issue is not payment of debt Kenyans are hardworking and our taxes can pay our debt but the corruption, misuse and misappropriation is on another level..If we shall free ourselves from debt we need a different minded system of governance
Listening to foreign reporting is a bad idea
Nigeria let's wake up too we can't continue to be oppressed by a few
Ruto must simply go
Where's Palki Sharma
I wonder I miss her voice
Good analysis and explanation for important issues Alyson
Where's Uhuru, where's Raila ,so fishy but why shed the innocent blood, high taxes ,political wars ,so smelly 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Ruto head will roll. Ruto must go
Where is Palki Sharma. That’s impossible to watch 🙈🙈🙈
Really, really, where's Palki? Please bring her back to us
Don't involve our creditors to this, the money was borrowed and we will only pay legit debt. The due process wasn't followed and was taken home by few individuals in sacks like Euro bond in 2013.
Where's Palki Sharma ?
My question too
I am a proud citizen of Palkistan!! We want Palki!! #BringbackPalkiFirstPost #WeWantPalki #iamCitizenofPalkistan
RUTO MUST GO....
Thanks Ruto for listen the voice of your people
Why would he raise the tax even so high? He n his family n his co workers can afford
I wonder why palki Sharma isn't reading this news
Firstpost now got a younger and more beautiful woman.
One question. Where is Palki Sharma?
The war has just taken a new angle but the country leaders have to change pressure continues.
Where is palki sharma my most favorite Journalist
So now it will cost millions to repair the destruction in Kenya. There has to be a better way.
The country's governance MUST be accountable. That is all we are asking as young people. Our parents helped dispense the 2010 Constitution to bring in better and accountable governance. As young people, it is our responsibility to ensure the 2010 Constitution works to the best of its intended ability. This also means No Punitive Tax, No Run Away Corruption like we have witnessed in the last 12 years, and No State Capture. Parliament must be liable, the Executive Must be Liable, the Last One We will come for is the Judiciary and the entirety of the Criminal Justice System. Mambo yatabadilika. #DoAwayWithTheFinanceBill

The Taliban people really merged to the mainstream Pakistani community. They where land guarding the land of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran post 18th century they upgraded and left many without explanation. It was the Industrial Age business corporations of my Great Grandfather. Many Talibani people got overwhelmed with the Jin chapter of the Quran and didn’t join in leaving them to desert. Today the Taliban need confirmation. A book of some kind of recognition of good intention needs to be communicated.

where is palki sharma?
where is palki sharma
This was on Tuesday 25 afternoon after the Bill was passed. No (KDF) army here, those were cruel Regular Police officers and their counterparts APs (Administration Police) in full riot gears and the red ballet GSU (General Service Unit) a SPECIAL POLICE paramilitary FORCE to combat violence{ which all }are sections in the Kenya Police Services and NOT the army KDF (KENYA DEFENSE FORCES). KDF wear brown boots, are disciplined, focused and don't carry clubs and batons either. They carry specialized guns only . Again they entered Nairobi City on Thursday and up to now Friday none has fired a shot to the civilians. Their presence is scary to the civilians bearing in mind how ruthlessly destroyed ALSHABAAB terrorists both in Kenya and deep in the Somalia territory. Also destroyed all uprising gangs in Western Kenya and cattle rustlers in Northern Kenya. Infact the GEN Z the youthful protestors welcomed them at Moi Avenue and KDF didn't last more than 3 hrs. in the city before they returned back to their Command Base at Nyayo Stadium and eventually to their residential barracks in the outskirts of Nairobi Central Business District. Learn to be accurate journalists.
Ruto must go we don’t want him
Kanye, DON'T LET THE BLOOD OF YOUR CHILDREN BE SPILLED IN VEIN ! RUTO MUST GO !!!!
Little island like kenya has taxes what is wrong kenya cannot have it .
We're f is palki
Ruto riambo kotit any way may God bring peace across the country🙏.
IMF and WORLD BANK lends china long term , low interest rate and china lends african nations short term ,high interest rate hence debt trap is inevitable.
Red carpet for Ruto? Hypocrisy of the USA. As for me Ruto he's a puppet too.
Where's Palki ❤
Before you decided any raw think twice dear
In india parliment they speak differet languages including English.
yep
Now we know why Obama left Kenya
Hi Alyson ❤️🦾😇🌹
Ruto must fall
If same done by indian youth they were called separatist
NONE of you who are calling for President Ruto to step step down have a better resolve for clearing the Debts, all countries in these situations pay higher taxes and adjust their expenses so that the shame and burden doesn’t become to much, If you have ever taken a loan and suffered the agony to repay you would have a better understanding, NOW go f$gure out how you all will pay to fix the damages 🤦🏽♀️ Shaking My Head
Ruto is supposed to resign...he has failed kenyans
Amen ❤️🇹🇷🦾😇
You keep on changing the tune every now and then. You are the worst president in the history of Kenya.
Ruto is pro west sellout
RUTO IS CORRUPT HE MUST GO HE HAS NO ACCOUNTABILITY TRANSPARENCY
HONESTY
THIS IS MAN IS EVIL .
If same done by indian youth they were called separatist
