On Tuesday, June 8, 2024, hundreds of Kenyans flooded the streets of Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD) to protest the Finance Bill 2024. The demonstrations were fueled by frustration over the high cost of living, and protesters expressed their discontent with the bill. Plainclothes police officers swiftly arrested dozens of demonstrators, leading to tense scenes. Tear gas canisters were also deployed to disperse irate groups.
The atmosphere remains charged as Kenyans continue to voice their opposition to the controversial legislation. The protests serve as a powerful expression of citizen’s concerns about economic challenges and government policies.
Despite the amendment made by the Parliament Finance Committee, the citizens have vowed to continue rejecting the financial bill that could make them pay more taxes from their pockets.
