“Ruto must go!” Kenyan protesters, riot police clash as latest demonstrations turn violent

Riot police fired tear gas grenades and charged at stone-throwing protesters in downtown Nairobi and across Kenya on Tuesday, in the most widespread unrest since at least two dozen protesters died in clashes a week ago.
The nationwide demonstrations signalled that President William Ruto had failed to appease a spontaneous youth protest movement, despite having abandoned plans for tax rises that triggered the unrest last week.
“Yes, the president has withdrawn the finance bill, but he is still a liar because there are still things that they are trying to pass as different ills, away from the finance bill, and so for us we are exhausted with the constant lies, with constantly taking us for fools,” protester Foi Wambui said. “We are tired, now we want action.’’
Tuesday's demonstrations began in a buoyant mood but turned violent as the day wore on. In Nairobi, helmet-clad police charged at protesters with shields and wooden clubs, as tear gas bombs exploded in the crowds. Outside the capital, hundreds of protesters marched through the country’s second-largest city of Mombasa, chanting “Ruto must go!”

Canada gets more tax and people sleep. Kenya tax rate is 10% - 35% at the top. Meanwhile in Canada the government wants 67% of your money on capital gains. After you get the money you paid 67% tax on now you get GST PST & Carbon tax for anything you buy.

Kenya has no EI or social assistance whatsoever! You can't increase HST GST for people who have no income. Yet the politicians & government officials are paid more than the Canadian ones. To make matters worse, government spending in Kenya is literally the leaders using public funds for personal expenses & luxury. The president of Kenya is a lot more wealthy than the Trudeau family courtesy of stealing public funds.

Ruto should also resign on Grounds of Ethics and Integrity for bribing MPs to vote “Yes”. That should not be expected of any sitting president of the Republic of Kenya, who is expected to lead by example. This is a very serious issue. His example is Corruption, the very basis of the protests. A scourge in Kenya and A Shame to Kenya locally and oversea. A Character Flaw. Good Governance must be restored in the country. Kenya deserves better than this.

This president is closing businesses etc. Anyway am sure One World Government planners are very happy about millions of jobless since they intend to rule a very poor world where we go on our knees begging for everything. Ruto is number one puppet of this so called One World = Year 2 since it started year 2023 and the chaos are visible so more disasters for the future.
