Like many countries, Kenya is struggling with a cost of living crisis and how to balance the books. The government's answer was a plan to raise taxes, in what was called the Finance Bill, and this created a spark for protests across the country. According to estimates by the state-funded rights commission, 39 people have been killed in those demonstrations. Parliament was set on fire and hundreds were arrested. Many of those protesters are in their 20s, from what is known as Generation Z. Ultimately, President Ruto said he would not go ahead with tax increases, and he would listen to the country's youth - but the protests continue. Host James Reynolds brings together several Gen Z protesters to discuss what is making them so angry.

It has been a week since President Ruto of Kenya withdrew the Finance Bill after weeks of public protests against it. The bill aimed to raise or introduce taxes and fees on a range of everyday items and services, including internet data, fuel, and banking, to pay interest on the national debt, reduce the budget deficit, and keep the government running. My colleague Clement Manyathela touched on this last week on his show following the withdrawal announcement, but what will happen now after the withdrawal? To delve deeper into the implications of this decision and the developments since then, we are joined by Luke Anami, Journalist at The Nation Media Group based in Nairobi.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Tuesday, June 25, Kenyan protesters stormed parliament in Nairobi in scenes reminiscent of the January 6 siege of the U.S. Capitol. However, unlike January 6, police responded violently, and at least six people were killed. The protests had been ongoing for days as the Kenyan parliament moved on a finance bill that would increase taxes for ordinary Kenyans in unusual ways. Like many countries in Africa, the government of Kenya faces an extreme level of debt and was looking for new sources of revenue to service its debt payments while also keeping the government functioning. Following the protests, President William Ruto said he would no longer pursue this taxation bill. While protests in Kenya are hardly unusual, what makes this protest movement so unique, according to my guest today, Brian Obara, is that it was not organized along ethnic, tribal, or even class divides. Rather, it was youth-led and broad-based -- and that could signal a profound change in Kenyan politics. Brian Obara is a Kenyan lawyer, media professional, and columnist for The Star, a daily newspaper in Nairobi. We kick off by discussing what was in this ill-fated Finance Bill that so agitated Kenyans. We then discuss what transpired in the protests and what this episode suggests for the future of politics in Kenya.

Amnesty International says it is concerned about the increasing number of abductions in Kenya and the excessive use of force by police on peaceful protesters. The group says as many as 24 protesters were killed during the recent anti-tax protests. Meanwhile, President William Ruto speaking to local media Sunday said he fears the good intentions of the youth had been hijacked by criminal elements. Irungu Hughton, executive director of Amnesty International Kenya, tells VOA's James Butty, the protests are a consequence of the government's failure to listen to suggestions made about the Finance Bill 2024 before it was approved by parliament.

“I concede.” After a dramatic - and bloody - week of protests on the streets of Kenya, President William Ruto has agreed to ditch his unpopular finance bill. In an address to the nation he said that it was clear that Kenyans “want nothing” to do with the bill which would have introduced controversial tax hikes. Protesters say they would have hit the poorest who are already struggling with rising living costs. On Tuesday, parliament was set ablaze and lawmakers hid in the basement garage after voting for the bill. At least 22 people were killed in the protests. Now President Ruto says he will enter into a dialogue with the young people who have led the protests. For Africa Daily, Alan Kasujja speaks to protesters outside Kenya's High Commission in London – and gets an explanation of what was behind both the bill and the protests from Julians Amboko, an Economist and Business Journalist based in Kenya.

Kenya's President William Ruto has announced he will not sign the Finance Bill 2024 into law following intense public outcry and violent protests. The bill, which proposed new taxes, led to thousands of demonstrators storming the parliament, resulting in at least 22 deaths as police opened fire.

Ruto says his government will uphold its constitutional obligation to protect the country. The president spoke Tuesday evening as Kenya's anti-tax protests took a deadly turn.

The government says the taxes are necessary to fund development programs and reduce the country's public debt.

Kenya's full parliament is expected to vote tomorrow Tuesday on the passage of the country's controversial Finance Bill 2024.
