‘I concede’: Kenyan President William Ruto will not sign finance bill
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июн 2024
- Kenyan President William Ruto says he will not sign a controversial bill that led to major protests.
At least 23 people were reportedly killed on Tuesday, after MPs passed the legislation that would have raised taxes.
In an address to the nation, the second in less than 24 hours, Ruto said it was clear that Kenyans "want nothing" to do with the bill.
He has promised to open dialogue with young people who were the driving force of the protests to hear their grievances. He also said corruption is a matter that he will tackle.
Al Jazeera's Malcolm Webb has the latest from Nairobi, Kenya.
Stella Agara is an African governance and security analyst and a long-time tax reform campaigner. She believes Ruto's decision may save him from protests calling for his resignation.

I don't believe a word Ruto says, he is all about lies and propaganda and thinks we are all fools.
Don't mind the idiot. He called Kenyans criminals yesterday. He is a fool.
Absolutely! Trusting Ruto that would be equivalent to trust a wolf to guard your sheeps!
True we are not fools .......after 21 days unsigned becomes a law.
His upuzi has caught up with him!
Yeah we can't believe him
Ruto and his sychophants should pay off Kenya's debt with all the funds they've stolen. They live like kings while we the ordinary citizens suffer under their harsh economic policies.
Finally,kenyan genz has established the only language that these thieves perfectly understand...i would take it a notche higher by not ceasing fire.
💯 this 🐖 have to pay the debt bcz he haven't done anything with that money
Alot of thieves there!..same as Mombasa,where the governors just show off their trips ,cars and dominance inspite having even a Sports Stadium in a second largest city of Kenya...STOP ALL OF THEM,no matter tribe or color
Those who sit behind him are the ones stealing with his blessings.
Apparently European and western "'representatives" were present in the parliamentary session at the time of voting. Were they there to make sure they got their money's worth for their bribes? What is the business competition? I Bill Gates planning to use this to introduce cheap GMO foods when cost of food becomes unbearable? Can you see the strategy clearly. If I wanted to do business in Kenya I'd bribe the to raise big tax on food and sell my cheap GMO for profit. Africans mostly eat natural organic food. GMO is not successful so much so this tax trick will help GMO businesses
Bribery has been a big problem in Kenya for decades. Money doesn’t go where it is supposed to.
He rigged he wasn't God sent. He is corrupted he craves for blood 2007 and now killings are haunting him and all his generation

Saying this when he is wearing Rolex, Gucci belt and driving a Rollce Royce is dumb
23 young people in Kenya dead Ruto must go resign as president.
Your a fool…… these protest are championed by people who lost elections …. And elections are over
I agree 💯. You don't kill 23 people who have done nothing but asked for change peacefully to withdraw the finance bill and remain in power!!! NO African leader is to be trusted. They are all puppets 😮

Now he should do honourable thing and resign, kudos to Kenyan youth 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪💪💪💪💪now let's turn our effort to corrupt governors & members of parliament.
We want him to resign
And then what? He won't resign.
Proud of Kenyans.

The youth are waking up we are tired of these leaders embezzling public funds, sending their kids to better schools abroad, driving in big cars, taking fat salaries and imposing big taxes on poor citizens to fund all that.
They shoud be driving hybrid Toyotas ...not 16 mile par gallon SUV ...they have tuned citizens into slaves and the country a big plantation
He didn't bow to nothing. He is playing a 21 day con!! Do not fall for his bull.
Let's not jump to conclusions. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt.
This is so true, he is just calming people, will not do anything
Don't trust anything he says he isn't conceding but buying time
As a 🇰🇪 kenyan Trust the illegitimate criminal corrupt Ruto what he says at your own peril. A man of no integrity and a pathological liar who will lie straight at your face. We will have eject this criminal from office

instead of raising taxes on poors of Africa the government should confiscate houses and other assets they accumulated with stolen public funds and pay it toward the government debt. Corruption is what’s killing Africa and it shouldn’t be tolerated. the protest should continue
Kenya should look at the Singapore plan that led to their success. If Singapore can do it, Kenya can do it better.
Absolutely
I found out that in the 1950, Kenya's GDP was bigger than Singapore's. And then the British left and corruption took over.
Governments will never willingly give over assets and power to the little people; they would need to be forced, and most people aren't willing to go that far.
Please remember if he doesnt sign for the removal of the bill within 14 days it will pass by law
Not true. If in 21 days the President does not approve the bill, the proposed bill will expire and we start again.
Within 14days it should return to fake parliament...if not within 21 days it becomes law..he thinks we're fools
If he killed his own people protesting, makes you wonder what he will do Haitians? This man is definitely an American Politician at heart
The speech was for the international media... Governments ana NGOs.. He doesn't mean a thing he says
Last night Ruto was fuming calling 90% of Kenyans traitors and criminals that he will deal with them harshly!
If Kenyans go to the streets tomorrow then it will be against Ruto specifically!
but bring weapons to protect yourselves if the police don't help you demand they give you their weapons

@@John-si5vs weapons? You mean guns and bombs? Nope believe me people power is sufficient and Ruto knows it.
Yesterday you criminals today people of kenya
😂😂😂 I caught that hahahhhahah
He thinks we are fools 😂😂
Tactics of A lying manipulator
😂😂😂
It's impossible to defeat people who are ready to die. because of their rights
He must resign... The fear is gone
And some already died and in the mortuaries while many in hospitals with gun wounds.
Ruto is dealing with people that don’t deserve democracy he should learn from Museveni and kagame, they are dictators but seems they are more loved than him. Let him just become a dictator

@@NabeetaChrispus..R u for real?? U do know there is a constitution that guides the country
we stil want him out
of course a thieving politician can never be trusted ever
This is his last straw Ruto must go, we are sick and tired of his leadership.
He needs to step down first. He's not wanted. His name now hungs around like a bad smell!
Ruto = Kinyesi 😊
After the mass Killing yesterday in CBD and Githurai, RUTO MUST GO.
*May the Almighty bring peace in Kenya!* ❤🇰🇪
amen
We don't want to be profiled that's why we are LEADERLESS, TRIBELESS, FEARLESS. The magnitude of these protests was crystal clear on all social platforms but they ignored and decided to go to war with their children. We are an internet generation so if the government wants to engage us they should PAY MORE ATTENTION ONLINE!!
This is sad to see our fellow Africans dieing like flies 😢
It’s sad how Raising taxes seems easy for the government, just a signature. But stopping requires deadly protests
Neo-colonialism in Africa
US prints trillions of dollars, while US controlled IMF tells Kenya to raise taxes.
The new finance bill imposes, for example, 16% sales tax on bread & 25% sales tax on cooking oil.
IMF is okay with oil. Pay your debts for your education, highways, and glass skyscrapers.
You are forget land
Actually, most of the money Kenya owes is to China...
inflation is a hidden tax
You are bending over backwards to blame any country other than Kenya. Take responsibility.
Dedan kimathi said ..it is better to die standing than live on your knees
The sovereign powers always belong to the people. Africans should realise this and fight every mediocrity from politicians with all their might. Then we'll be liberated forever.
He should resign. He’s responsible for those death.
After 21 day it will be law of Kenya we ain't stupid tomorrow we r back to the road
It would be withdrawn, so it won't become law
@@fowowe1988
We are back to the streets!
@@fowowe1988 The President doesn't have the power to withdraw any bill. All he can do is write to the CS Treasury to notify the speaker that the bill has been withdrawn. Then the speaker will give the floor to the Leader of Majority to table a withdraw notice to the whole house of Parliament. Remember the Parliament is on recess until 23rd July. It's all mind game.
Yes my people stand firm and unite. We are tired of corruption in Africa. No more staying quiet!
he concedes after killing way more than what main stream media is reporting.......what happenned last night in Githurai?
They should force him to step down
They're on it
For been so conservative socially its surprising how finally it took this long to acknowledge that raising taxes on the middle class and unaccounted spending should be the priority.
Nor should he sign any deal with the IMF/World Bank to trade or sell Kenyan land to Americans or Europeans.
We are not fools the bill will automatically become law after 21 days if he doesnt sign
ooh yes we ear not stupid we know what happens especially listening to what he has to say taday kudos my younger sisters and brother's am with you guys jah bless
Really? Is that how it works in Kenya? What is the process for withdrawing a bill then?
1) Within fourteen days after receipt of a Bill, the President shall--
(a) assent to the Bill; or
(b) refer the Bill back to Parliament for reconsideration by Parliament, noting any reservations that the President has concerning the Bill.
(2) If the President refers a Bill back for reconsideration, Parliament may, following the appropriate procedures under this Part -
(a) amend the Bill in light of the President’s reservations;
or
(b) pass the Bill a second time without amendment.
(3) If Parliament amendeds the Bill fully accommodating the President’s reservations, the appropriate Speaker shall re-submit it to the President for assent.
(4) Parliament, after considering the President’s reservations, may pass the Bill a second time, without amendment, or with amendments that do not fully accommodate the President’s reservations, by a vote supported--
(a) by two-thirds of members of the National Assembly;
and
(b) two-thirds of the delegations in the Senate, if it is a Bill that requires the approval of the Senate.
(5) If Parliament has passed a Bill under clause (4)--
(a) the appropriate Speaker shall within seven days re-submit it to the President; and
(b) the President shall within seven days assent to the Bill.
(6) If the President does not assent to a Bill or refer it back within the period prescribed in clause (1), or assent to it under (5)(b), the Bill shall be taken to have been assented to on the expiry of that period.
Not really as explained in my above comment they have to come to an agreement or else the bill will expire it cannot be law without the president's approval
Trust Ruto's words at your own peril......He believes its either his way or the highway ! RESIGN ZAKAYO NA SIO TAFADHALI !
Yea that's his mode of action
Proud of my country. Now I wish we could fight wastage of our taxes with the same passion and vigour and Kenya will develop even faster. We must change how our country is run!!!
It's a trick guys
Mere CCP protest ... Russia and China will pay protesters to foul the Western banking system ... it is your bed, share it with who you will
With diplomatic advice and assistance from BRICS you will surely succeed, Kenya is extremely resource rich so share this wealth amongst your countrymen.
its too late!! we don't trust him!! he won't lead us!!!!!!!! lies lies lies lies
Protest was happened All over Kenya all Kenyan young youth was on live on Media against Ruto courtprt government
kenya government is the most corrupt in Africa. Systematic corruption is the main problem in kenya
How can we change the system?
Not most corrupt in Africa
Than Uganda 🇺🇬
Shame on you, Willian Ruto!
Taxes suck but if you have honest politicians it will help the country improve itself
Too bad we have dishonest politicians in Kenya who only want to steal and enrich themselves and their cronies
There are No honest Politicians!
If the taxes goes to the people and not this hooligans politicians
There are no honest politicians. Just ones you can stomach
We dont even have a president we have a air hostess
Is not only about the bill, is accumulated anger of the people over the years
Screw the international bankers
Hey, don't be antisemitic!

*Kenya🇰🇪 have border disputes with South Sudan.*
make border agreement & Peace!
That was last week issue today issue is that RUTO MUST GO
Very good 😊
Fear Ruto my fellow Kenyans...once the deal is good,think twice....i dont trust this man
Next, we are stopping the mission to Haiti and thereafter rooting for the resignation or removal of corrupt leaders from powers. WATCH THIS SPACE.
He knows he will be a 1 term President and trying to lie through his teeth. Please, my fellow Kenyans, do not fall for it again😮
The people of Kenya 🇰🇪 made a fool out of him.
As Kenyans we need to see him burn 🔥 this bill. Otherwise we cannot trust him come what may. He is an Profesional manipulator.
prison for life at hard labor.
A win so far but stay aware my beautiful people!
If he signed or not sign tomorrow morning we will occupie state house
THE PROTEST HAS NO LEADER. IT HAS DOCTORS, ENGINEERS, BUSINESSMEN, TEACHERS etc. WHO IS HE CALLING TO HAVE TALKS WITH? HE OWES EACH ONE OF US SOMETHING.
Feels like this is only the beginning
Ruto is black netanyahu of Africa
😂😂😂😂😂
He's lying .... Tomorrow bring more cameras
The show is massive
Blah, blah, blah- all talk- nothing will change and the politicians will keep getting richer!
If he does not resign he should show us what actions he will take to prevent stealing of money from taxes we already paying. If he take action on corruption corruption enough for me to have change heart
No retreat! No surrender! Too many lives are already lost.
We want him to resign we don't want him period we're tired
We don't trust this conman at all. He should go and leave us in peace!
Guess what..We will still protest
Thank you for listening to the people who it would have affected.
The government needs to remember that it is there to serve the people.
With or without the president's signature, the Finance bill becomes law in 21 days. Thats the Kenyan constitution.
Can't believe a word he says
Stella Agara you said it right. Thank you
Ruto must go home and become again a street wonder 🌽 🌽 of roasting corn
😂
This guy is a professional liar😂😂😂 he's always outside the country actually if he's not lying he's flying or sometimes he flies and lies at the same time..on Tuesday he called us criminals then today he forgot and called us sons and daughters 😂😂😂
You know, politics is a game of interest. Since the President Ruto lifted his head and he wants to become the leader of East Africa Nations, he must be aware of what might come in his presence.....
Is the use of live ammunition against unarmed civilians a crime against humanity?
We are tired with him as a leader
when your homes are infested with vermin you call in the man from ORKIN, they get rid of roaches, bedbugs, and rats quickly.
The military killed more than 300 women and kids at Githurai , no one is talking about this😢😢😢😢
Protests were practically unheard of in Kenya in 1985 when I spent a year there. Freedom of speech did not exist. It was dangerous to criticize the government, even in private conversation. Thank you Gen Z for protecting Gen Wazee (“Wa-ZAY”): the generation of elders.
If it will not happen according to his speech today we're going back to the streets
A bunch of Thieves!!
Would be best to kick him out of office
It’s always always more of us than them. Support from the us. Hopefully he resigns. Great job citizens it’s easy for me to sit and talk. Much respect
We want Ruto out!
Rutos Party are now Millionaires they Rock Million Dollar watches Months after they were Swon in
All the people of the world are being ripped off. The stolen money sits in Switzerland, Panama, and Dubai. The thieves mill about on yachts and private estates, unaccountable for their crimes against the people.
Couldnt we get a black responder?
Why? What a shameful and bigoted comment... Al Jazeera has black news anchors reporting on international news stories all the time. Skin color is not a determinant for the quality of news reporting. And if you had actually watched the report, you would have known that they actually had a black responder in the second half of the report.
Webb has been an Aljazeera correspondent in Kenya for ages, alongside Catherine Soi
racist
African leaders should stop being too overzealous. I am happy that Ruto listened to the people. Pray it is not a smoke screen to make them calm down. President Tinubu should learn from him. Perhaps it is because we have not sent shivers down in his spine that is why he is playing with our intelligence.
Negotiation with who..he was warned this would happen but his ignorant is causing him
UNITE KENYA AND SUDAN 🇸🇩 🇰🇪
This what happens when you have a mediocre Director General of NIS,a foolish IG,a clueless CJ,a useless CS and PS Interior ministry.The tragedy is,it's the president who appointed them.Meaning he is the one leading in foolishness.What a shame?
Let the Nigerian🇳🇬 Youths do like their Kenya🇰🇪 counterparts. REVOLUTION is the ONLY Answer😡
We didn't vated him he be came a president of Kenya by our courtprt judiciary he paid lot's million's to chief justice for favoring election
IMF stay away from ruto send paybill kenyans will pay your debt directly through Mpesa😂 God bless kenya.
Ruto and his sychophants should pay that debt with all the funds they've stolen.
The IMF thing is also a bloodthirsty criminal organization. They can't can't have life without milking on poor black people through stooges like William Ruto!
😂😂😂😂
💯
Yeah, they are the foundation of our problems .
I still think he still has something up his sleeve......wadau sidhaani kama Ni ukweli
It takes a great leader to admit mistakes.
"I concede... after I received a phone call from Big Daddy USA!"
Ruto has killed 900 Kenyan on 25th of June 2024 he is killer he must be punished Ruto must go I apeal to international community to find a truth of killer
We don't trust this man unless he's resigning
He preached "KENYA Kwanza" Now He is DOING "KENYA KWISHA" ‼️🚓🚓🔥🔥🔥 PREACHING WATER & DRINK WINE 🍷🍷
Thanks Mr.President for doing the right thing
Kenyans should stay on the streets to force this evil lier to resign, the life of 23 peoples shouldn't go for nothing.
I always watch al Jazeera because of this lady
it's not just a 36% tax bill but also the stealing of their land by the USA
It will still go into effect after 21 days because it has already been passed by the parliament. Kenyans DON'T BE FOOLED !
Justice for those who are killed. They fired good professors and hired their relatives and friends very sad.
0:00-0:01 Was that a moan? 😂
Heard that too 😂
Someone was having fun 😆
Ruto Lies All The Time & All The Time Ruto Lies. He opens his mouth just know he lyinh
