- Kenya: Clashes In Nairobi As Thousands Protest Against Ruto Govt's Tax Hikes | Firstpost Africa
Protests are escalating in Kenya over proposed new tax hikes in the Finance Bill that is being tabled in the parliament. Thousands of young protesters marched near President William Ruto's residence. Protesters clashed with police who fired tear gas and water cannons to disperse them. At least one person has been reportedly killed, while over 200 are injured. Over 200 arrests have also been made in the last 24 hours. Young Kenyans in large numbers are protesting against the proposed tax hikes, which they fear will exacerbate Kenya's cost-of-living crisis. The bill is due to be debated and passed by June 30.

How many kenyans live in Garrissa to warrant RUTO to open a PASSPORT OFFICE....TAXES ARE STOLEN BY DENYING SERVICE TO PEOPLE ...and instead peddling FAKE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS IN DESERTS TO ENRICH POLITICIANS...to date therebis no evidence of any development with all the funds in Arid regions....They steal money with the...ONE KM... ONE VOTE. Taxes funds allocation....to garissa VILLAGE??? .how many kenyans require a KENYAN PASSPORT in the DESERT????...the Somalia's in Nairobi better move to garissa to invest in garissa... if what RUTO said is true......RUTO...DEMOLISHED HOMES OF THOUSANDS OF ELDERLY WOMEN AND FAMILIES IN MATHARE, KIBERA SLUMS after the floods rendering thousands homeless and DESTITUTE...in the streets...A.BREACH OF HUMAN RIGHTS...
ANOTHER LIE...somalia passport office in Garrissa is about DUALE maximising CORRUPTION by selling kenyans IDS to Somalians...from neighbouring countries to securing votes for RUTO in 2027....
RUTO STOP DISHING DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS LIKE SWEETS TO CHILDREN...this is the Job OF LOCAL VILLAGE Counties GOVERNMENTS Local leaders......unless its in EXCHANGE for FINANCE BILL.. VOTES...Corruption TAXES sharing in STATEHOUSE!!!🎉
Not just Ruto, his whole government and MP’s/ financial advisers, plus police and military operatives.. there all corrupted and have to go to see real change for the best.
There seems to be No opposition party or political organization.
Aende kama wimbo wa matanga

So true
This is just the beginning. More African countries are going to be protesting like this soon. This is what Africa needs to stand up against these rubbish African governments!
Agreed. The African revolutionary spirit is higher than ever before.
@@lovestrong3582 THE SPIRIT IS GROWING DAY BY DAY......
Terrible decision. We seen were those protests led to in the 70s and 80s!
You better change your thumbnail or we will come for you too. Ask CNN.
We don't play!! They have 24 hours, that thumbnail is misleading & their reporting is biased - pull it down!
Get your facts right before posting anything you don't know about.hell to you agents of Satan wishing to see all African countries burning for your benefit.kenya will never burn if it dint burn in 2007-2008,but dont think we'll remain silent as we are oppressed
10+ Trillion Debt??
-No Job services, -No Government services,
-No Medical services, -No Elderly services,
-No School services, -No Road infrastructure,

-No Water services, -No Electricity services.
Who is the problem of that it is worth of president or or a money of president to do that???? Teact me to know it
Nobody burned tyres ,No major road was blocked, It was peaceful demonstrations please.
They need to get their facts right!
this foreigners lie alot for views
You really know Nigeria language Kenya people good to fight for your right
CHANGE THAT THUMBNAIL. Do not misrepresent us. Get all your facts right
Exactly!!! Change that word !
Kenya is not burning, please change your thumbnail
Jingazzzzzzz unafanya nn huku.... Shenzi...
we dont need fools who doesnt know anything about kenya to report our matters
kenya is not burning
She is Big fool no idea at all
Your fool hiding the trust
Kenya 🇰🇪 is my country and it's not burning but we are executing our constitution right for picketing.
It's burning down because Ruto is in panic and need to sponsor M23 rebels who are losing ground in DR Congo. Ruto believes Kenyan economic and political influence over DRC is guaranteed through war on Congo that has needed resources and very potential to be a global power. Ruto has severed diplomatic relations with DRC prior
@@patrickkasongo7284 you are still following us? LOL SADC is now fighting M23 on behalf of your cowardly government..ours is investments..wake up from sleep and fight aganist ignorance in your land..we kenyans are good, thank you. we have alot right now in kenya.
Trust the international media to blow this out of proportion,
Yes it’s burning from all side. How on earth can Zakayo use $200,000 for trip to USA and then come and increase the prices of bread, oil etc. Looting of public funds by Ruto is unprecedented. If the country but burn and we have change, let it be
@@tabbykaranja7745 the the elephant in the room is wanton corruption and mismanagement of resources..our jet is from 90s and with a good thriving economy we would have afforded the presidency a nice modern presidential jet instead of renting one.
Kenya is not burning dear presenter. But the situation is dire. And he won’t see this through. Keep your eyes on Monday.
She is lying!
Pathetic
Kenya is not burning ✅ sounds misleading it's the best peaceful demonstration ever no 🔥
KENYA is burning by KENYA s men and women

Ni hyo Moshi ya teargas 😂😂now,if they call smoke fire...what will they call real fire?
Useless caption for click's, did you see the burning????
Seriously the burning tag is seriously very very uncomfortable. Just inflammatory
Thank you. Was about to tell them to pull down that word. This is not First post style. They should stop creating panic
Stup!d click bait! They stooped very low
We need to strike this video makiri na wana biu.
All Africans countries are always on the verge of eating itself up..
Where is the fire ?
What clashes? The youth were peaceful, so who was clashing with who?
Where did you see Kenya burning
Where did you see it burn? We are peaceful...
This is a misleading tag line to draw traffic to your video.
Very shameful...
Very. Shame on her
The report is accurate. As a Kenyan, I support her sentiments. Ruto must GO. Kenya will burn if Ruto doesn't take action and listen to the people
@@unt_folly WILL and IS are two different things.
Kenya will never burn again...
when kenyans stand up to their leaders you have no right to say Kenya is burning! if you dont know this is just execising a constitutional righ which is normal in Kenya
Please change that word!!!! Kenya isnt burning
Kenya isnt burning i know it seams strange but our consitution allows us to picket and demonstrate .we do it in small scale daily even in shools.

If you know you know.
ruclips.net/video/3Smf24hNVjM/видео.htmlsi=iMYBbSPG92HvYk8o
They were not discussing finance bill in parliament!They were shouting at one another before a contest of guided voting as Kenyans look in disbelief....😮
Ruto is just using finance bill to enrich himself. Take loans from IMF. Stash the loans in foreign countries.Come back to Kenya to tax people to fund the loan repayments. Then blame Uhuru for Kenyan woes
Kitheri media wacheni story za Jaba eti kenya is burning.
NOW WE KNOW WHO IS REALLY SUPPOSED TO PAY FOR THE TROOPS THAT WERE SENT TO HAITI 🇭🇹 WHILE THE TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS WENT INTO SOMEONES POCKET ⁉️
Which Kenya are you talking about?
Kenya is not burning we are peacefully picketing as our Constitution allows us to do so against a greedy and ignorant govt. led by Ruto!
REPORT WHAT IS RIGHT!!!
Kenya is a sovereign nation can make it's own laws these people are funded by the west
This new channel has started joking like the western media to get views,where do you see burning tires??
Kenya isnt burning, prorests are peaceful, no theft no destruction, just telling Ruto to serve Kenyan interests not Western agendas
What prompted Govt to take this decision
Charles Schwab, you will own nothing and be happy
Myopia, incompetence and ethnic cronyism.
Excuse me, Kenya is not burning, get your facts right.
We are just having a conversation, on that.. Tax Regimes without financial transparency, accountability and discipline amounts to economic injustice.
#RejectFinanceBill2024
#OccupyParliament

🇰🇪 ENOUGH IS ENOUGH 🇰🇪
Kenya is not burning my dear
The government works for the people not the other way around
Burning...did you pour petrol on it??
It is peaceful demo.,not burning
@firstpostAfrica this is distasteful.
To anyone who values factual and truthful news, kindly don't listen to this🚮. It is laced with lies.
Shame! Just shame!
If you need to know what is actually happening in our country, listen/watch news from NTVKenya or Citizen Kenya.
RUTO THE BOTANIST IS A CURSE TO KENYA
Remove that thumbnail or headline, it's wrong Kenya isn't burning and you need to apologize too!!!!
Kindly dignify our Peaceful Kenyan demonstrations just like BBC, Aljazeera who are calli g it peaceful. When did you collect your information. Your title words are not matchi g the reality????
THERE WAS NO “BURNING”! Treat this with the respect you would if Europeans were demonstrating . Add all the romance and breathless reporting.
KOT will turn on this station ASAP! WHAT BURNING? Get over yourselves! We have been working amidst the demos. Lazy journalism!
Kenya" burns" what an overzealous misleading heading.?. you dont even know where kenya is.. just sitting in your room scouring the
Internet latching on any story for monetized clips.. you disgust me..
Young people needs to live …After Covid youths needs guidance,jobs ,healthcare,education .Politicians needs to meet their youth and have conversations..The youths did not build the debt
The real movie is coming soon,this is just a trailer Gen Z are unstoppable🔥🔥
Seriously, what is this clickbait headline? Stop it. Which Kenya are you talking about? We are not burning; we are just fighting for our future. Use the correct verbiage.
#rejectfinancebill2024 ...Kenya is not burning...stop the prejudice.... The police did more damage
Instead of reporting from the screen, spend more time on the ground
Rutho, you should ask Haïti for forgiveness traitor. Now you're paying the consequences 😂😂😂😂
[:"The Government should compensate the families for all those protesters who in exercising their rights were injured or died by the hands of Government."]
Pay into your taxes and stop borrowing from other countries. We are also tired of paying YOUR TAXES .
This protest is stupid.
Ghanaians have had enough of NPP and NDC therefore protest like this not far off. Corruption and the wickedness of these crop of African leaders is very distressful and devastating
Point of correction,we didn't march near the presidential residence just yet,it was parliament first and whatever happened happened already,so as it is now our next move is towards the statehouse if nobody heeds to our grievances
Yeah maybe paraphrase that burn thing because Kenya is not burning.
Only women should sit at home with the kids, real men must engage the police and the army in the daily jogging stroller. Keep it up guys. We're proud of you.
Wow this is crazy kenya want to help Haiti 🇭🇹 😆 😮 thank you Ruto the Bible say if you can not take care your home what make you think you’ll be able to take care other people homes
I love firstpost but to insinuate that kenya is burning is low of you. This is what CNN and BBC used to do but they stopped. it seems you are the new entrants to misleading info on matters Kenya
We cancel that declaration over Kenya. kenya will not burn in Jesus name! We plead the blood of Jesus over our beloved Kenya. Lord have mercy
Wrong title, Kenya isn't burning..
Title should be
Enlightened youth lead Kenyans to reject punitive finance bill
After all that talk what is preventing his arrest. Let the military take over and put the colonisers out and align with Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger.
We might be protesting but why would you say “Kenya burns” this is how the west just paints African countries negatively and it has never say right with me
This is the usual outcome when politician are left without control or anyone to ensure that the people's intrest is a priority. Wake up AU and do your job or hand over to an active chairperson.
Correction...its not clashes. We just want the government to be accountable. We want a government that uses our taxes to do better...
I can't imagine that though the Taxation scam is an effect to them also, these mindless police officers soldiers got balls to stand and defend regime systems
That is why our former president dont watch your news,uongo kila mahali,recording my country with techno
KENYA BURNS, this media house🤦🏼♂️
Ruto reduced pesa sa wzee from 4k to 2k for himself and his friends ,arrest them to bring back money
We're just tired of over taxing us but all money collected goes on big belly's packets.
Please don't misinform the whole world about a peaceful protest , kenya is not burning dear presenter
Kenya is not burning down.The youths are rising.
Kenya, burning? You wish! Get outta here!
He is obviously not good. He should go. Africa needs unity now more than ever.
THIS TITLE IS MISSLEADING. WE ARE NOT CLASHING WE ARE PROTESTING AGAINST A LONG OVERDUE INJUSTICE.
kenya is made up of youthful population, how do you impose high taxes on unemployed youths.
Protests werent at his residence, home etc please get your news right way

The Political analyst anakaa anareport akiwa kwa Choo
