  • Kenya: Ruto Tries to Quell Anger, Appease Angry Protesters With More Concessions | Firstpost Africa
    Kenya's President William Ruto is making more concessions as anger against his government continues to simmer. Ruto has signed law on the reconstitution of the electoral body following nationwide protests. Reconstituting the electoral body was among the talking points in recent demonstrations. The electoral body found itself at the heart of a fierce dispute over the outcome of the 2022 election that brought Ruto to power when four of its seven commissioners disowned the results. Meanwhile, Moody's cut Kenya's debt rating further into junk territory. So, it has been a Catch-22 for Ruto's govt where if it does take action, it faces protests from people, and if it doesn't, lenders, creditors, markets, and rating agencies respond poorly.

    Ruto is considered a murderer, a thief and a liar. He is Incompetent and in the last two years he has spent most of his time aimlessly running around the world.
    The earlier he resigns the better for him. He is not going to placate over 15 million young Kenyans who are unemployed, angry, hungry and frustrated. His incompetency has woken them up and now they no longer suffer from idleness and depression, as they have vowed to continue demonstrating until he disappears from the scene!

    3) pay only the amounts of debt acquired per constitution of Kenya
    4) IMF & World Bank refund Kenya all amounts paid for odious debt.
