Kenya youths on Friday rejected President William Ruto’s decision to dismiss most of his cabinet, with some threatening renewed street protests unless he resigns.
Ruto has been struggling to manage the aftermath of violent protests against proposed tax increases, sparked by peaceful demonstrations last month that tapped into widespread public anger towards his administration.
Organized online and predominantly led by young Kenyans from Generation Z, the protests have plunged Ruto’s government into its most severe crisis since he took office two years ago, compelling him to withdraw the finance bill containing the tax hikes.
In an effort to ease tensions, Ruto dismissed all cabinet ministers, including the attorney-general, on Thursday, except for Foreign Minister Musalia Mudavadi and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. While this move was welcomed by some, it failed to pacify young Kenyans frustrated by Ruto’s unfulfilled promises to create jobs aq awnd improve their economic prospects.
