Thank You Edith for telling the truth.
I wish the people of ,Zimbabwe can also see the light. This overtaking us is very unacceptable
Why can’t Larry Madowo speak without tweng’ just like Edith
This is what America wanted( chaos) in African nations
Biden created this mess placing a 36% tax on Kenya and trying to steal their land too
President Ruto has demonstrated that he is the CIA American puppet. He has raised this tax hike to pay his masters in Washington. This President must be removed by Kenyans now. Enslavement and imperialism by western powers must be ended now…
Ruto must park and leave
There were no rubber bullets all the bullets were live bullets ruto doesn't care about the public all he cares about is money
In the town area today there were snipers on the tall buildings ruto just wants us dead
MWIZI
RUTO MUST GO

Hot take: I don't see how increasing tax on sugar is a bad idea? It would force people to eat healthier foods. Not like most Kenyans need it, but still.
Such protests took place all over Europe. The farmers' protest. You also seem to have forgotten the Trucker protests in Canada. Whenever people realized that they had no reason to be afraid of the Elite and that they had nothing to lose. The elite had to give up the law to increase the order and take away people's freedom. THIS IS A WAR BETWEEN THE RICH ELITE AND ORDINARY POOR PEOPLE. And if you only know the rich elites who are digging bunkers and hiding on islands, people will find you wherever you are, you will be brought before the people and punished for everything you do today
I just want to commend this gentleman for giving her space to answer the questions. We do not see that often with foreign news anchors.
Tax the rich not the poor and their basic needs.
Your kindness and resilience inspire everyone around you
Your kindness and resilience inspire everyone around you
Edith, thank you for articulating well what's happening in Kenya
We are witnessing the impact of decades of corruptions. Now they want take the little income of the poor and pay off the so called loans.
Corruption is the root cause, the poor people have to pay for mismanagement of funds due to corruption.
Taxation is theft
Edith us so articulate ❤
This shown that something was wrong with social arrangement and education system in Kenya. Kenyan still in poor standard in education,School, housing system, work jobs, food security.
Ruto should be in prison!!💯
I remember watching Ruto brag about raising taxes in front of a white audience in Kenya. Meanwhile, we Kenyans were dying of flooding.
We shall continue rejecting this government of Ruto

I really like her report, very sincere and honest, not trying to support or go against anyone .
They don't want to lease land to the west. Talk about the truth.
Edith is great but I wish she could have given numbers!!!!
Many Kenyans are going to have to live off of $150/month for rent, food and electricity!
Others with families are gonna be on $400/month with children and not counting school fees and healthcare. We can't all be tech developers.
The vipe of the interviewer was full of resism. Even the last words he chose were not well intended. DW is always full of resism behind its global mask
kenya is going through exactly what we are going through in zambia, high cost of living, load shedding, lack of functioning opposition parties, looting and insults from oir leaders, only difference is we are not protesting yet
We don't have a president! We have a mad King who's just declared war on his nation and the people he's supposed to protect. Kenya bleeds💔. Ruto Must go!
The Kenyan president William Ruto has resulted to killing innocent protesters, looting public funds, grabbing public land while authorizing abductions of human rights activists and using bribery, blackmail and brute force to pass a contentious finance bill
DOWN WITH BAD GOVERNANCE.
ruto must go a criminal
RUTO must Go 😡 how do ur officer's kill young people just bcz u can't let go of ur ego .u must Go
The protest were peaceful until the police and paid goond came
Wow, Edith! Didn't know ww hua jounalist mkali ivo. Big up to you and Larry.
Africa needs its own system of government that is representative of the culture and traditions of its peoples not the borrowed systems that it presently operates which continually stifles the growth and aspirations of its citizens.
Thank you Edith for speaking our voice 👍
We also have faced the same problem. Heavy taxes have been imposed on us by the government but people remain silent because they know major two elections are around the corner and people are ready to topple the present bloody government.
