To the Kenyans, I say *"CONGRATULATIONS"* , this is what democracy is all about.
(The voice of the people).
This is fake, they did not remove anything. It's hoodwinking people
i am shocked because of the misinformation put out by fox
The US needs to leave Kenya alone. We can deal with our own problems. Stop interfering
What does the U.S. have to do with Kenyan tax hikes?
@@santoshNarayana
Our leader has become their puppet.
The tax hikes are conditions by world bank and IMF.
If he was not a puppet,he would not consider their conditions.
@@santoshNarayanado you live in Kenya?
You should listen to balozi mchawi meg Whitman on taxation. She represents Babylon US
@@biblefanatic2902Those aren’t USA
Currently Kenyans are asking for the US Amb to return home and go with her taxation advise
That was an ignorant statement or is Kenya so puny that one ambassador with a $100,000 yearly salary, is all it takes to bring a whole country to it's knees?? lol
bro do you even know who the ambassador is? she worth over 4 billion usd. stupid to think she's just some random making 100k a month
@@daniells71Why do you think America govt loves Ruto so much.This ambassador was one of the people who helped rig this puppet into power.
@@daniells71 you are definitely not a Kenyan and that is why you do not understand how powerful she is.
@@leewythaka8309 the power of the people is
everything
Not hundreds but thousands of protesters. We need the US out of this Country.
Bidens puppet must go
What does the U.S. have to do with Kenyan tax hikes?
You vote based on your tribes then you blame US. Grow up people 😂
@@santoshNarayanawhich country are you from?
Yes US need to go ASAP. And the rest of them
They do this all the time: place red herrings to look like heroes for dropping them and meanwhile sneaking in whatever they actually wanted to pass behind the scenes. They will still bring all of this back in the supplementary budget. We will not relent.
IMF bill to be exact
I'm not a guy from Kenya but what is the problem to just keep the price of basic needs at a good level?
They are taxing our everything even the basic needss!!!!
Tax hungry regime
We are reclaiming our country
Please do. Take your country back from the invaders who only want to take, take and more taking.
Why don't the government cut their wasteful spending first.
Greed bro
They don't understand the meaning of Reject.
That Tanzanian SGR is cheaper than the Kenyan Im sure...
You think real estate in Kenya is as cheap as in Tanzania?
@@leewythaka8309 Kenya they overvalued land for govt infrastructure needs flat rate
@@kalisouthmusic All land in Tanzania belongs to the government no wonder their project was cheaper
@@korawega6293 land in Kenya is expensive, even renting a house in Kenya is very expensive. One of the most expensive things in Kenya is housing.
Yes. Because our SGR was built at exaggerated costs. More than half of the budget was looted.
They haven't changed anything, they have proposed to amend some to make the bill a little appealing... The word is proposed
One day later and they passed the original bill
Does France24 air some positive actions being taken by Bukinabi president or is it just about critics since they were kicked out of the country?
France24 should be banned in kenya as well. They never seem to represent the voice of the people but rather keep pushing their weird ideologies and agendas down everyone's throughts
Our of touch are they?
They haven't get the facts right
All the police force should join the people of Kenya and protest against Ruto government Pretending to be ok!!!!!!!!!
The MPs have passed the bill to the second reading. Update your news
What they scrapped off is just the tip of the iceberg,the real menace is on the VAT on specialised healthcare,imposed lease on land nationwide, the data protection rights,the tax on raw materials of production.
If it's IMF they need to find another way to raise revenue;ever since they set the new tax targets KRA(the Kenyan taxman)has not been able to meet the threshhold, infact everytime they seem to miss the tax target by a big drop
That is a lie there was no scrap off
#Reject finance bill
Scrapped what!? You're a news house, get the right news....
The changes haven t been debated in parliament!!!
Which scrapping
This is misleading! Sad
FRANCE 24 do u know githeri man
We know ugali man
It hasn't scrapped anything......stop reporting half truths
#RutoLetMyPeopleGo ✊🏾
So BK can’t fight “terrorists”? Does that mean France 🇫🇷 will come back in to save the day.
I have to question what mineral resources does Burkina Faso have? 🤔
You guys this i not reporting
26th June will be the major demonstration, Gen Z are not jocking. The government should be accountable for every tax they collected. Corruption has no chance in Gen Z expectations.
You're missing informed
Poorly trained soldiers in burkinafaso?
I thought France was there to train them
Only bad things about my continent
Don't you have a country to talk about??
Protest a side. The country looks awesome
Save KENYA
France still bitter after getting the boot
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Burkina Faso? The country's poorly trained soldiers..... No wonder the French military was kicked out - for not training them.
If you believe that. What you should be asking is what mineral resources does the country have that they don’t have peace. It’s suspicious
