#Kenya #Protests #WorldNews
Im in the US. Much respect to the citizens of Kenya. We are watching your fight. You are GOOD people. You deserve all you fight for. You are resilient. We wish you success.
But same issue pakisatni government ..people 😡😥
Let all of these policemen be flown to Haiti so that Kenya can set up a fresh police service.
They would never welcome we’re Haytien not Kenyan.
Sure
Nan koko manmaw yap vini an!!
Kenya will rue the day Ruto thought it could invade Haiti on behalf of the US!
Haitian don’t want them - and they will meet their doom over there
RUTO MUST GO!!!
He must GO!!! 2027's too far
Mr president you don't plan your house according to what you see in your neighbors house. you plan your house according to what you can comfortable afford.
Just wondering what he's mumbling about taxes. We are overburdened already. We can't continue watching as corruption and non accountability take a better part of us
@@annewanjiru818 exactly. Plus we're overspending and stealing/wasting! Billions to their and spouses offices for what?
Ruto is digging a huge hole for himself.
He's already in a whole
💯, we're tired!
I hope and pray that it's no so deep for him...... these people are not engaged they will demonstrate the whole time. RUTO is reaping the seed he sore of miscommunication of the previous govt he served and trashed. What goes around comes around. UHURU AND RAILA MUST BE OVER THE MOON
About time!
Lazima aingie
He just made a trip to the US, Stand up for your rights.
To make matters worse with an expensive private jet funded by taxpayers
Cut all the taxes....all politicians MUST use public transport....forget increasing the taxes......your too corrupt politicians.....of backdoor wheelie dealers...extravagant billionaire jet lifestyle..RUTO has had 64 international flights....Ruto better open his passport office inside THE COUNTRY OF SOMALIA....IN MOGADISHU....MOST SOMALIAS HAVE BOUGHT KENYAN PASSPORTS FROM THE CORRUPT GOVERNMENT OF KENYA...
How many kenyans live in Garrissa to warrant RUTO to open a PASSPORT OFFICE....in the region steal money with the...ONE KM... ONE VOTE.garissa VILLAGE??? .To require a KENYAN PASSPORT....the Somalia's in Nairobi better move to garissa to invest in garissa... if what he said is true..while DEMOLISHING HOMES OF THOUSANDS OF ELDERLY WOMEN AND FAMILIES IN MATHARE, KIBERA SLUMS..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 for LOCAL VILLAGE Counties GOVERNMENTS Local leaders......unless its in EXCHANGE for FINANCE BILL.. VOTES....
@@jimg1056This man is a celeb not a president,we are overtaxed for his useless journeys ,silly one
He also opened a restaurant in New York City!
@@jaysmart3277when is he in his office foreal?
Ruto must go!
ONLY WAY TO DO IT IS TO GET HIM OUT YOURSELF
LIBYA DID IT
DO IT YOURSELF
But with God every thing is possible
16% for bread ? That is absurd even by American standards
Its not about being tax but accountability.
It's both
First time seeing Kenya on NBC. I've seen us on other US media houses, but not NBC
We have been there during the gas incident flooding and David sheldrick wildlife Trust
@@fabianjoy12875 Oh, OK
NBC has been too busy with Trump derangement syndrome.
These guys are really learned about everything, wow 😳😳😳😳😳
16% tax on bread? Wow.
2.5% on cars (already purchased and paid for AND taxed at time of purchase).
Plus there is huge tax on fuel.
Our problem is accountability....paying tax is good but some is ending in some people pockets
not some but almost all of it. spent on trip and luxury lifestyles for the politicians
Sure that's the biggest problem
Not some..70% of the tax is going to Ruto and his cronies
Foreign investors need to put pressure on the Kenyan Government to stop corruption and uphold human rights. There is no justice! Young people, university students are murdered every day and murderers are allowed to roam free because police and Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) have been bribed. Media should cover this issue. JUSTICE FOR BRIAN CHIRA!
We are doing away with this government
“We can’t just be praying all our problems away” 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Congrats on kenya for fighting for their rights. Ruto works for the IMF
Most of those members of parliament will never see re election
These broadcasts need to articulate and emphasise that the protesters have been entirely peaceful, absolutely no vandalism, theft or hooliganism. Simple legal gatherings to protest
Great to see Kenyans stand up. These crooked politicians are a problem globally!
Taxing basic food such as bread is really bad. That should never be taxed so heavily. 16% is a lot.
These soldiers ,broke their oath! and are an embarrassment!
They forget that when they go home and take off their uniform they will also have to pay for increased prices on bread
Very good my brother and sisters we are with you ❤️
We need peace in this world 🌎
Zakayo shuka mti ama tukate.

Ruto is adevil he should resign nobody want him anymore
The People determine how much they should be taxed, and they either permit more than they have determined.
10+ Trillion Debt??
-No Job services, -No Government services, -No Medical services, -No Elderly services, -No School services, -No Road infrastructure, -No Urban Turmac roads, majority dirt roads, -No Sewer services, -No Water services, -No Electricity services.
They are way below being taxed compared to who?
He is comparing us to developed country, were are still developing
@@User.25432comparing us to countries that can account for their taxes
Powerful to you people
Ruto must go....uuuuffffffff😢😢😢😢
Zakayo must come down
Power to the people!!!
It's nice that the people are united. The penalty for doing this in Turkey is 7 years. The one-man regime will destroy the country and the parliamentary system will survive. Greetings from Turkey to my Kenyan brothers.
RUTO MUST GO
Ugandans don't try this at home ohhhhhhhhhhhhh 🫵🏿😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂
Kenyans, as your brother from Uganda, I want to inform you to be cautious of that man. He could end up becoming the Museveni of Kenya. Recently, he has been visiting Museveni frequently, and what he has learned from here is what we call Musevenism. This is a situation that a dictator Museveni uses to cling to power and keep people in poverty, making citizens beggars while bribing parliament members to stay in control. My Friends Kenyan kindly resist this dictatorship, which we, in Uganda call Musevenism, that he wants to impose on you with the influence of his mentor, Museveni.

# GEN Z KENYA 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
MANY YOUTHS ARE GRADUATES AND JOBLESS WE'RE SUFFERING WE'RE GOING THROUGH DEPRESSION
🇰🇪 ENOUGH IS ENOUGH 🇰🇪 😊
Ruto is a brother to museven 😢
Poor people😢
Sorry, Kenyan are not poor people the problem is the government, full of corruption, over taxing and etc
Now imagine what its gonna be like in 2037 when social security runs out and our government raises our taxes even more than they already are... sad
Punitive Tax Regimes, without Financial accountability, transparency and discipline, amounts to economic injustice.

Spot on!
He spent 1m dolla on flight😢
16% on bread is insane. No countries is that high
What you don't understand is that we can allow taxation but if there is no accountability and transparency then we don't want it. The guy chartered a private jet to the US while telling Kenyans the country is broke. He was given millions of money during the US trip but not a single dollar has reached the people
Exactly my point
Ruto said Kenyan is under tax!!! He forgot that Kenyan are also under pay.
Zacheus is the biggest threat in our country Kenya
Imana ifashe aba nyakenya pe
HE NEEDS TO RESIGN NOW!!
16% tax is wild
The world there will be super rich and poor. The greed in this world is at the worst its ever been and getting worse
Watoke na bill zao tuanze kujenga Kenya upya kibaki haku overtax ndio alete free education,mwanzo hio pesa wanapewa ma lady ni za nini aki
Mambo badoo!
Send these police officers to Haiti
Kenya is the giant of Africa
William Ruto your citizens are fed up with your corruption. We the people of HAÏTI don’t want you or your corrupt Police Department in HAÏTI? Stay away from the 1st Black independent Country!
I'm a Kenyan and our constitution doesn't allow Kenyan police to go for foreign missions.We as Kenyans disapproved it but since he is a US stooge, he didn't listen. Now we disapproved this 2024 finance bill since it's overtaxing us yet we never know where the already 2023 overtaxed bill and money went. Still he didn't listen and he always never listen. We are tired and we are determined no matter what, he must go.
We hate him here in Kenya, he's a known thief, and an executioner, a very heartless man... He stole elections, organised killings of kisii tribes and kikuyus tribes 2007, he has been looting left right and center since he was a member of parliament... He's just the reincarnation of evil ...
Cut on Expenditure......are the words
Indirimbo zimana 1:16
The age of protests bereft of relevant political actions. 😅😅
2024-middle east,kenya...
My president is talking nonsense…
Why is he comparing their taxes to others. When someone can’t justify what they are doing they resort to well so and so is doing it!
Even these police if they can talk from deep of their hearts,,,they are tired also
little ruto is now learning what is the consequences of putting nose in "Hayti" business😂😂😂... Hold on sovereign people, the first Black Empire to fight slavery and all forms of abuse is with you, we're one in this fight against imperialism
Bravo pou h,aiti
Thursday onther day till ruto must go.

Can they make a deal and lower the tax to one billion.
Ushuru bila chechote kwa wanainch
corruption and wastage of public resources must end in this country
The bread one is definitely intentional to harm the lower class.
Ruto can't solve problems in his country but he was busy lecturing Russia about Ukraine
Aki just hear him, eti we are under taxed?? 😢
Wewe tupee kazi acha ujinga ya under tax
Are the people working?
We won't borrow or pray our troubles away✊🏿 Viva

Heather Willard
9 hours ago
DENVER (KDVR) - A woman is suing the U.S. Government and a Denver Mint police officer on allegations that the officer sexually assaulted her in 2022 at the Denver Mint.
According to the complaint, the woman was an independent contractor working at the Denver Mint in 2022. She was reportedly a registered nurse and provided health services.
I hope the Kenyans "take care of" all of their politicians.
Nigerians need to learn from Kenyan people. May the Almighty Allah helps us all. May He protect us from the oppression of our African Leaders.
The injustice done on the people of Kenya by Ruto & IMF is beyond words. Ruto out
Let them cut down their expenditures indeed
Ruto is a devil
I am overseeing Military takeover very soon
Just a while ago they assassinated the general of the armed forces because they knew this was what could transpire.
Not in kenya
That's a wild guess, what military?
We will kick out this dictator
#rejectfinance bill
Really
❤🇿🇦✊️
Yes, they pay high taxes that does not help a single person other than you politicians. It is about time the youth does something. Make him a 1 term President
Ruto must go
At our own risk
The World is Watching! Rights to picket peacefully!
Ruto Goooooo !
If only our taxes were well utilized
Indirimbo zimana
The west should question when is the money they gave him.The west should not force us with uneatable thing that can't be swallod.We are vomiting Ruto right now we don't want anymore
I propose president ruto to withdraw this finance bill and give paybill of loans his government has borrowed we as kenyans if each one of us we contribut atlist 50/- we will offset this loans makes her to over budden us by over taxing us.just my take.i think this will save our country 😳
Mes sincères félicitations n😮
Zakayo unasema Nini....ulaaniwe
Ruto must Go
# Ruto must go
There are continuing to buy 🚗 where's we are suffering
Yet you can't wait to come to America? Lol😂 Here you can see where our taxes are going to.. Can you say the same thing for Kenya other than is going to feed the fat corruption. Hypocrisy amazes me. Most USA states tax less than Kenya, maybe that's why we don't complain.
