KENYA – GENZ PROTESTS AGAINST GOVERNMENT
There was a heavy police presence in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, on Tuesday, with riot police patrolling the streets and using tear gas to disperse small groups of protesters. The protests started as an online outpouring of anger over nearly $2.7 billion of tax hikes in a proposed finance bill and have grown into a nationwide movement against corruption. Dozens of Kenyans have been killed in demonstrations and clashes with police since June 18th. Many are demanding that President William Ruto to step down. VOA’s Paul Ndiho spoke to Dr. James Ngundi, an Adjunct Professor of African Studies at Georgetown University, for more perspective.
