Kenya’s President Ruto withdraws finance bill after at least 22 killed in protests | BBC News


Kenya’s President William Ruto has called for an “open dialogue” with young people, after at least 22 people will killed in deadly protests over a proposed finance bill.

The bill – which contained controversial tax hikes – will be withdrawn, after protests saw parliament set on fire on Tuesday.

In an address to the nation, Ruto said he would now enter into dialogue with the young people, who were at the forefront of the biggest protests to hit the country since he was elected in 2022.

On Thursday morning police were deployed across the capital and around State House, with many Kenyans on social media vowing to stage a march into the president’s official residence.
