CONTROVERSIAL NATURE RESTORATION LAW PASSED BY EU COUNCIL

It was only a few months ago that Kenya pledged to send its own troops to help Haiti with lawless gangs who were destroying neighbourhoods.

Due to the growing violence in Haiti, Kenya has sent hundreds more troops to keep the peace, in spite of its own troubles at home.

Total Shutdown

Activists call for a “total shutdown” of the Kenya government in a bid to pressure Ruto to resign from his position as President.

Weeks of violent demonstrations have seen Ruto withdraw a plan for $2.7 billion (€2.48 billion) in tax hikes.

Additionally as a result of the riots Ruto has fired almost his entire cabinet in order to keep the peace.

Protestors continue to blame the president for mismanagement of funds, government corruption, and the many deaths after police took measures to stop the rioters.

Protests often violent were led mostly by younger Kenyans were held in Kitengela and Mombasa.

The protestors moved through the streets chanting “Ruto must go” and “Stop killing us.”

Reporters in Kenya confirm the protests have escalated to the worst level in recent years, suggesting that public anger was growing.

Kenya’s Debt Debacle

Kenya has to spend about 30% of its public tax revenues on its debilitating level of debt, making inflation inevitable and increasing a necessary evil.

As a result Kenyan citizens have been on edge from a skyrocketing cost of living and the mushrooming national debt.

Kenya has taken full advantage of China’s debt program, accepting over 6 Billon in payments.

While Kenyan GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is jist over 100 Billion this makes Kenya’s debt to China over 5%, As Chinese Debt to GDP.

This ratio although not excessively high, shows that the interest payments to China may be impacting the Kenyan government’s cash flow.

A comparative nation is Sri Lanka which has a Chinese Debt to GDP ratio of just over 8%.

Sri Lanka also had mass riots similar to Kenya, due to the government’s inability to pay for salaries or public school energy costs due to soaring Interest debt payments.

Human Rights Violations

The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights reported that 50 rioters have been killed so far, mostly in Nairobi.

The organization added that another 413 had been injured and called for a “zero tolerance directive on human rights violations” for security forces.

Ruto’s office had announced “multi-sectoral” talks for to address grievances raised by the protesters.

However the Kenyan Government showed no sign of moving forward with this plan as stated.

Ruto accused foreign entities like the US-based Ford Foundation of inciting the “violence and mayhem” across his country.

The Kenyan President had previously blamed “criminal organzations” operating in Kenya for the protests.

The waves of protest across Kenya are the first major test for President Ruto since entering into power in 2022.
