@@nooboftheyear7170 Can you imagine the president using 10,000,000 dollars on furniture for statehouse, in one year 😂 or renovating the Deputy Presidents residence for 6,000,000 dollars while it was built using 2,000,000 dollars, that's Kenya.

People who use violence are criminals. People who protest peacefully are excersinig their constitutional rights. There is a big diffrence beetwen those two.
The real problem isn't debt payment, it's the amount of money the government and their agencies are allocating to themselves. While the normal citizen suffers, the politicians and their family and friends are getting richer
And they borrow money from IMF, use it for their Families & Luxurious lifestyles, then they want to raid every cent in our pockets for taxation to pay back the IMF debts yet the money borrowed went to their own lifestyles of living large at our expense🤔
The protest isn't anything to do with the imf, this riot is to do with chinese money and raising taxes to pay back chinese loans for unwanted and probably tofu dreg infrastructure projects (poor quality) that the chinese built for the kenyan government. There are rumours that the chinese playbook usually includes kickbacks for the ministers involved in the projects but simply looking up the term 'tofu dreg' on google will show why the people probably have at least a little justification. Also the china show channel on youtube as shown last friday illustrates why I would be skeptical of any project proposing china build critical infrastructure
This newscast tried to pretend that Chinese debt was a bigger deal. That actually inspired me to look that information up. Being that it is the BBC we can be pretty certain that it is shite.
Irony is that the Kenya government has unconstitutionally sent Kenya police to Haiti to restore order and unconstitutionally deployed the Kenyan military at home to restore order! The right to protest is inalienable. No reason or excuse to deploy lethal force.
From what the video said, he followed the african trend of taking chinese money. That money has to be paid back or they're going to exploit that kenyan resource that they secured the debt on. To give you an idea of how this works, it might be copper or gold or diamonds and they lend a few billion but secure it on a resource containing hundreds of billions if not trillions. Get the money paid. Don't let the chinese laugh at you.
@@nooboftheyear7170😂😂 nice try buddy. You european far right or trumper? 😂of course blame the chinese. If you bother to research or at least read the comments, most kenyan protest is about the bill increasing tax to pay the debts from IMF and euro 😂 a lot were saying we won't allow a country ruled by imf.
@@lanzortiz3199 it might be that they're going to cover that chinese money then. That's even better since the interest rate would be lower but yes, more cause for the sinorussian propagandists to try and cut them off it seems. They want them to default like sri lanka did
If kenya can have leaders that can seriously fight corruption and seriously look at our expenditure then we do not need IMF and worldbank loans. They keep increasing taxes to fund corruption, its not fair😢.
Guys it wasn't imf and world bank loans. If you listened to the lady that was talking, she said that the chinese built infrastructure. The chinese provide there own loans for those projects, usually secured on one or more natural resource deposits of the host country depending on the number of state banks involved. Also note that chinese loan rates are higher than those of the imf but have no conditions. Please also note that chibese loans are usually followed by antigovernment propaganda on social media to prevent the government paying back the loans, thereby enabling them to get $100Bn+ resource deposits for like $2-10Bn actually less than that since chinese equipment was bought for the project and all management was chinese - thus sending most of the money back to china. The wise thing? Stop the riots, get the debt paid, examine the resources and make a plan to extract and sell them. Moral of the story? Don't get fooled by the offer of easy money. It is never cheap or easy in the medium to long term.
@@nooboftheyear7170dear you have all twisted chines manage the projects until they pay themselves back those who exploit people are the western they make the borrowers their slaves
Actually it isn't to do with the imf. It is to do with china. You guys have to pay china back at higher than imf rates or they're going to take some national resource like a gold or diamond deposit that their spies found in your country. That would have been a part of the chinese contract with your government so I suggest y'all knuckle down and get this debt paid back FAST!!! so that you kenyans can exploit the wealth that the chinese discovered to the benefit of your country. This has been the chinese strategy throught africa. I heard that for a few billion dollars they are looking at ownership / access to a gold mine with reserves of two trillion dollars. And apparently most of the money goes back to china for equipment and management teams as no local people are employed at any level above general labour.
The chinese have to be paid back or they're going to take your resources, resources and wealth your nation might not have even known you had. I heard tgat for a few billion dollars they're close to getting a two trillion dollar gold deposit in one country alone. Co-operate, get the money paid and let the country exploit their own resources.
I am just wondering if the taxe hikes excludes the police and the military. Situation like this i expected a military take over,not a collaboration with an ICC criminal.
Killing innocent Kenyans over finance bill !!!!! The biggest narcissist turns around and calls the murdered victims criminals? The ICC needs to investigate and charge him again. #powertothepeople
Neo-colonialism in Africa US prints trillions of dollars, while US controlled IMF tells Kenya to raise tax The new finance bill imposes, for example, 16% sales tax on bread & 25% sales tax on cooking oil.
USA just listed Kenya as major "NON-NATO" Ally & look violence erupt. Keep distance from NATO is the only solution to peace. Kenya People Stay Strong ❤ Global South With You.
Over 200 people were gunned down in githurai yesterday at night. They paid a few criminals to disrupt the peaceful protests . We shall never forget this . We will sort this out in 2027. ... kenya is greater than the few mps and government officials... we are watching what human rights groups will do.
The "Ruto massacre" has sparked public outrage. The response, or silence, from women leaders in Parliament, the Senate, and religious institutions is critically important.
10 people were killed breaking in parliament not 5. and in another area called gethorai that neighbours a army barracks there were more than 40 killed by military
She has done well in shifting the narrative and blaming China and Russia and excluding the real culprits IMF and World Bank. She too, like Ruto and his government are Western puppets.
Interestingly that the woman speaking said that the debt was owed to China and that they weren’t as lenient as the West regarding repayment. It’s going to be interesting to see how in the future African states and their partnership with dictators (Russia and China) play out. I have no allegiance to either. Just curiosity.
You too are parroting the Western narrative, Shifting the blame to CN & RUS. When has the west (IMF & WB) forgiven debit? Their institution have saddled/overburdened the developing nations with huge debit, then force unworkable economic depraved solutions (Structural Adjustment Programme - ESAP) on governments.
African leaders need to see the African people as the main asset they have. Without the people, there is no nation. It is therefore important to listen to the people because they are the main stakeholders. Some of them have intelligent and innovative solutions.
Ruto is the ONLY criminal Kenya has
Him talking about us being criminal was he not taken to Hague? ICC please come take this man ,we are tired of him
@@sylviahkinyangi9892voted him out
Just like in Uganda museveni is only criminal in Uganda and he’s rwandese you wonder

The country is 99% black. So, I highly doubt it.
This is not about criminals it’s your bad governance what a shame

Boycott all functions of Ruto. Switch off all his speeches. And protests in every Kenyan Embassy. He should step down immediately.
He shouldn't be reconogised as president, but like all corrupt goverments they will hang on even though the people dont want him, just like Putin.
