      The tax idea came from Washington. Why do you think he went to America in a private jet? A lot of hand baggage to bring back😡

    It's very unfortunate, that people have died, and all bad presidential advisers must also be dismissed.

    Why don't the citizens see that their affairs cannot improve regardless of the particular leader without a new mind that has no tribal loyalty.

    Corruption and little education simlar story all over africa

    • @jomo2483
      @jomo2483 Před 2 měsíci

      Corruption yes. Little education, not in Kenya. The average unemployed person in Kenya has a university degree. It's that makes this protest very threatening to those in power
      It's not your common Trump hooligan. It's like the middle class in the USA wake up and go. Enough with this bullshit. These
      Kenyan youth are highly educated, unemployed and hopeless. That's why things are developing rapidly
