Security is tight in Kenya’s capital Nairobi as young activists remain unrelenting in their push for more protests despite Government’s withdrawal of the finance bill.
Members of the protest movement, which has no official leaders and largely organises via social media, have rejected appeals from President William Ruto for dialogue, even after he abandoned proposed tax hikes.
But most of the protesters including an activist in Nairobi, Ojango Omondi are now demanding that Ruto step down.
The protests that started as an online outpouring of anger over nearly $2.7 billion of tax hikes in a proposed finance bill have grown into a nationwide movement against corruption and misgovernance, and become the most serious crisis of Ruto’s nearly two-year-old presidency.
