Well done to the Youth of KENYA. You have DEFINED ONE WORD – UNITY. Thank you for being so COURAGEOUS. We are proud of you children. You have taken a Government down. This is huge in the Spiritual Realm. The Bible says that the Youth will take over, even babies cos the elders have deceived us. I'm praying for you children to EXCELL in this WAR. YOUR ACTIONS PROVED TO THE WORLD THAT WE THE PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER. I PRAY IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME THAT THE REST OF THE YOUTHS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD GETS THIS MESSAGE. LET US TAKE BACK WHAT THE DEVIL STOLE FROM US. I'm so OVERWHELMED.
Ecology is a system! Because the Chinese government has destroyed a large amount of urban forest area and emitted excessive carbon dioxide! Causing frequent extreme weather disasters in China! The flood disaster was actually caused by the Chinese government itself! This is the consequence of disrupting ecological balance!
RUTO IS AN IMF & WORLD BANK AGENT
Ruto must go
WE'RE UNDER ECONOMICAL & POLITICAL OPPRESSION EVIDENTLY STILL HARD PRESSED IN NORTH AFRICA since the slave trade and colonisation era.Why is East and west pumping debt into the coffers of regimes; TRYING TO HOLD OUR CONTINENT AT RANSOM 😢😢AVOIDING REPARATIONS ???
PAN-AFRICANISTS ARE THE RIGHTFUL/LEGITIMATE OWNERS OF THE LAND THEREFORE WE'RE PUTTING A DISCLAIMER against your UNSCRUPULOUS INTENSIONS. STOP GIVING Loans to these irresponsible people meaningless moneys !! KENYA (lMF)
I wish the demonstrations a lasting success. In fact, the excessive taxes imposed by the government are intolerable
BBC, what about people who were killed.??? On this one you are quite about human casualities,😮😮😮😢
Africa is a beautiful continent,rich and powerful with mineral resources,but always in the wrong hands of foolish leader's,foolish leaders hence once elected they forget their people and starts stealing, corrupted mind for their own benefits,as for me am done voting for these culprits its like they come from same umbilical cord
Inflation is already a tax levied on the poor
Amazing..how social media can being this unity!! Maybe..Big Brother China will forgive some of the huge debt trap. The corrupt politicians shld ask China for a break instead of imposing this huge burden on tax payers.
Ugandan parilment passed the same taxes they should also withdrawal NOW BECAUSE UGANDANS ATE NOT HAPPY PLUS EVAUICATING UGANDANS FROM.THEIR LAND.
When Hitler did heinous acts many Germans stood by and watched. I am at leat proud of my fellow Kenyans for speaking out and bringing up the importance of the ICC

China is the biggest external lender to Kenya accounting for 67 per cent of total external debt, mainly infrastructure financing.

Icc your former client is still on the loose, he is dangerous to human anatomy please come for him, he seems that he can't change. Do Kenyans a favour . He is a dangerous criminal on a loose
RUTOMUSTGO!!!!
Africa youths are tired of corrupt leaders leading us
Not TikTok showing me their ads 😅 when it just might be in talks to ban it in Kenya. In other words, this Kenyan protest translates that governments in Africa are financially irresponsible and corrupt. They go about looking for ways to make it more and more unbearable for citizens.
I fully support these protestors. No more taxes. 🤬
Hope IMF and world bank got our message
Otherwise they can Marry Ruto and and take away with him!!!!!!
I somehow suspect this is being choreographed by the govt in a hidden chess game in which something gives for the hidden benefit of the corrupt govt.
"It can't be as usual you flying lying president"
I love this Kenyan spirit ❤️. Nuff love from The Gambia❤️❤️
But BBC why are you perpetually understating the issue??/ Why are you so corrupt?? The issue is not the raising of taxes, the issue is raising taxes, while delivering no services and contributing to the significant graft led by William Ruto while he and his cronnies flaunt their ill-gotten wealth that is financed by hardworking Kenyans.
Why BBC are you hiding this???? Always. You did it in 2007, where you misguided the public on what was actually happening in Kenya and now you are doing again. Why is the BBC SO CORRUPT??? If the BBC is corrupt why does it exist???
Neo-colonialism in Africa
US prints trillions of dollars, while IMF tells Kenya to raise tax
The new finance bill imposes, for example, 16% sales tax on bread & 25% sales tax on cooking oil.

May this peacful protest last til the end.
The main reason why we are angry is that this government is making life unbearable for us,lack of jobs,high taxation on basic commodities including pads, dippers and bread and many more.we are suffering.
If you support the Kenyan people on this

State has been captured by this ICC criminal
The IMF has done enough "encouragement" all over Africa. It has only impoverished the continent. SHAME WE SAY!
The person they refer to as the African correspondent is definitely failing at her job, we understand the importance of of taxes and we understand the situation that we’re in, we are against overtaxation by a corrupt regime, poor governance and budgeted corruption. @barbara please do better at your job
Africa is waking up but what approaches is beyond what any of us could imagine. May God protect us from the evil that is emerging
Nobody begged him to become president. If he thinks he cannot run the government without making life difficult for the people, the Kenyan president should resign.
