  2. No no wonder some US congressional members were presented in the parliament and no doubt peddling the incurred debt and loans of the IMF and WB schemes. Obviously Some has to pay the piper but not the poor citizens. Politicians who embezzled, corrupted and pocked it all has pay it.

  3. Kindly discuss IMF and African economies. IMF in Africa = dictators + fallen economy + stripping of our resources. Our own president called in the army for unarmed protestors. Unarmed, uninvolved civilians were gunned down at night in their neighborhoods

  4. Am so shocked that these media guys are only talking about bread making us look like we are protesting for cheap things what of our lands that the government wants to take what of hiking fuel prices come on now speak the truth

  5. Kenyans knowingly voted for renowned economic criminals, grabbers,and people who have a history of instigating and financing ethnic violence. …CORRUPTION AND PLUNDER, are the order of the day in Kenya 🇰🇪.

  6. Its not about the taxes its the FREEDOM from the corrupted leaders borrowing money for personal use ,there was mass murder yesterday at night,GOD rest the souls of the innocent people of Nairobi✊✊✊✊

  7. This country has suffered under only two tribes. The true root of the problem should be addressed. Kenys should be way ahead in the continent due to high education. Stagnation occurred right from independence period. The honest review of deep rooted issues will save them from deteriorating to a hopeless state . Equal distribution of opportunities and power. If your ancestors followed the wrong path, you can retract
