It is being largely led by Gen Z Kenyans. The protests aim to put pressure on lawmakers and members of the Parliament of Kenya to reject the Kenya Finance Bill 2024. These demonstrations were primarily fueled by anger over the rising cost of living and growing taxes but have since morphed into calls for the resignation of the current president William Ruto Lawmakers are expected to meet on June 25 to vote on proposed changes to the bill. Meanwhile, the protesters have called for a nationwide strike in civil disobedience on the same day.
The movement escalated on June 20, with protests reported nationwide in Nairobi, Eldoret, Garissa, Isiolo, Kisumu, Nakuru, Narok, Nyeri, Uasin Gishu, and Bungoma. Security forces were deployed to contain the protests, using water cannons and tear gas, while reports also indicated the use of live ammunition. Clashes resulted in at least two protesters killed and more than 200 injured. Human rights advocates claimed that Kenyan police arrested over 100 protesters.
