Youth-led protests across Kenya initially protested the Finance Bill, 2024. Despite President William Ruto withdrawing the controversial bill, dissolving his Cabinet, and pledging government austerity, demands for his resignation persist.
Calls of “Ruto must go” continue on social media and in public demonstrations.
Previous protests resulted in the deaths of over 40 protesters, with criticism directed at Kenyan police for excessive use of force, arrests, and alleged abductions of youth.
Following intense scrutiny over police conduct during demonstrations, Inspector General Japhet Koome resigned on Friday.
Previous protests also saw incidents of looting and vandalism, often attributed to hired individuals.
