    Ruto’s surprise decision not to sign the finance bill came after violent clashes between police and protesters at the Kenyan assembly and across the country left at least 23 people dead and scores wounded, according to medics. The climbdown will be seen as a big setback for Ruto, who came to power vowing to help Kenyans cope with rising costs but has seen much of the country, led by youth, unite in opposition to his latest attempt at reforms

    It should NEVER have taken the lives of 23 people in order for him to see how wrong this was .
    Absolute evil … he has their blood on his hands forever.

    The people are trying to survive. The leaders borrow money for their own greed, and the people are oppressed to pay it back, and They will fight to do it by any means necessary. America, mind your own business. Every time those leaders come near you, something bad happens
