President Ruto's Daughter Pens down her thoughts as Kenyan protestors call for her father's resignation.

President Ruto's Daughter has Pened down her thoughts as Kenyan protestors call for her father's resignation.

Charlene Ruto, one of the daughters to Kenyan president, HE Samuel Ruto has written a strong message amidst the ongoing countrywide demonstration in Kenya Over the new Taxation bills.

Here it goes:- 

"I stand at a very unique position regarding the issues facing my country Kenya as we speak.

As a president's daughter, I have no doubt in my mind, watching my father rise in politics for over 30 years, seeing his work and passion behind the scenes, that he truthfully holds the best interests of Kenyans at heart.

As a youth champion, I hear the cry of this generation and give my kudos that we not only care about current affairs, but have a stand and are willing to raise our concerns. This is a game changer. Let's do it  consistently, in an informed manner, with respect and honour. That is how we will be heard.

May we dwell in unity, peace and liberty.

A way will be made"-

A Sections of Kenya's parliament were on fire on Tuesday, 25th June 2024 as protesters overwhelmed police to storm the compound where lawmakers had just passed a contentious bill that would introduce a raft of new taxes.

At least 50 people were injured by gunfire, a paramedic outside parliament said, as police clashed with hundreds of demonstrators.

In chaotic scenes, protesters overwhelmed police and chased them away in an attempt to storm the parliament compound. Flames could be seen coming from inside.

Police opened fire after tear gas and water cannon failed to disperse the crowds. A Reuters journalist counted the bodies of at least five protesters outside parliament.

"We want to shut down parliament and every MP should go down and resign," one protestor, Davis Tafari, trying to enter parliament, told Reuters. "We will have a new government."

Protests and clashes also took place in several other cities and towns across the country.

Parliament approved the finance bill, moving it through to a third reading by lawmakers. The next step is for the legislation to be sent to the president for signing. He can send it back to parliament if he has any objections.

The protesters oppose tax rises in a country already reeling from a cost-of-living crisis, and many are also calling for President William Ruto to step down.
