Kenya’s President William Ruto on Wednesday said he will withdraw a finance bill containing controversial tax hikes after deadly protests which saw parliament torched the previous day.
In an address to the nation, he said it was clear that Kenyans “want nothing” to do with the Finance Bill 2024, adding that he would not sign the bill into law.
According to the state-funded Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNHRC), at least 22 people were shot dead by security forces in Tuesday’s protests.
Ruto said he would now enter into dialogue with the young people, who were at the forefront of the protests.
According to <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3gg30gm0x2o">BBC News</a>, the original purpose of the demonstrations was to force the president not to sign the bill, but some protesters later demanded that he step down, with the slogan “Ruto must go.”
The bill was passed by parliament on Tuesday, despite nationwide demonstrations against it.
Protesters then broke into parliament, vandalising the interior, setting parts of the complex on fire and also stealing the ceremonial mace, symbolising the authority of the legislature.
Later on Tuesday, Ruto responded with defiance and ordered the military to be deployed, saying “violence and anarchy” would not be tolerated.
However, an extraordinary demonstration of people power forced Ruto to climb down on Wednesday.
In his second address to the nation in less than 24 hours, Ruto explained why he thought the tax increases were necessary.
He said the proposed legislation was part of efforts to cut the country’s massive debt burden of more than US$80 billion.
Kenya’s massive debt burden is costing it more than half of its annual tax revenues to service.
Ruto added that his government had made progress and was on course to “assert sovereignty” by repaying its debts.
He said the provisions would have benefitted farmers, students and teachers, but he admitted the people were not behind him.

Kenya President To Officially Open 2024 Zimbabwe International Trade Fair

The Kenyan government has reinstated a small subsidy to stabilise retail fuel prices for the next 30 days after months of violent protests against the rising cost of living.
Ruto removed fuel and maize flour subsidies in September last year after taking office and increased taxes this year.
The subsidies had put in place by his predecessor Uhuru Kenyatta but Ruto said he preferred subsidising production rather than consumption.
The move was also aimed at cutting government spending as the government seeks to get a handle on debt repayments, reported <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/8/15/kenya-reinstates-fuel-subsidy-after-months-of-violent-protests">Al Jazeera</a>.
However, the subsidy cuts as well as recent tax hikes have increased living costs and contributed to violent anti-government protests in recent months.
On Monday, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) announced that the maximum retail price of a litre of petrol would remain constant at 194.68 shillings ($1.35).
The Government will shoulder an increase of 7.33 shillings ($0.05) through a price stabilisation fund.
Fuel prices shot up when Ruto removed the subsidies and spiked again in July after the government doubled the fuel tax.

Kenyan President William Ruto Reinstates Fuel Subsidy After Violent Protests

Kenyans have said life during William Ruto’s first 100 days has been been very difficult and different from what they were expecting.
<a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/william-ruto-declared-winner-of-kenyas-presidential-election/">Ruto came to power following the August 9 polls</a>, casting himself as a champion for the downtrodden, vowing to create jobs and tackle a cost-of-living crisis that has left many Kenyans struggling to put food on the table.
Kenyan shop attendant Winnie Wanjiru Mwaura was brimming with hope when she signed up to be an election agent for William Ruto during the August 9 polls and was elated when he became president.
But barely 100 days after the rags-to-riches businessman took office on September 13, the 21-year-old wants nothing to do with him. The first-time voter told the <a href="https://nation.africa/kenya/news/-life-is-worse-president-ruto-s-first-100-days-in-office-4063336">Nation</a>:
<blockquote>
Life has only become worse under him.

More pain for Kenyans in new Ruto, IMF loan deal
When Ruto (56) came to power, he slashed food and fuel subsidies introduced by his predecessor Uhuru Kenyatta arguing that the interventions had “not borne any fruit.”
Their removal was a request from the International Monetary Fund, a major lender to the East African economic powerhouse. 
Business analysts including Ken Gichinga, chief economist at business analytics firm Mentoria Economics say the move to remove the fuel subsidy was not very strategic as it has led to a slower economy, rising inflation and higher interest rates.
The Central Bank of Kenya raised interest rates by a cumulative 1.75 per cent in 2022, while inflation soared to a five-year high of 9.6 per cent in October.
Even Ruto’s pet project, the 50-billion-shilling ($408-million) “hustler fund”, has sparked controversy, with some accusing him of abandoning promises to make the credit scheme interest-free.
The fund, launched last month, will offer personal loans of up to 50 000 Kenyan shillings, with interest charged at eight per cent a year, lower than the rate of inflation.
Borrowers have already complained of difficulty in getting loans higher than 1 000 Kenyan shillings approved, despite the fund’s stated objective of boosting financial access for the country’s poorest citizens.
Ruto, who marked his one-hundredth day on the job on Thursday, also failed or neglected to deliver on his campaign pledge to achieve gender parity in his cabinet, naming just seven women to his 22-member team.
Despite a “disappointing” start, however, Manyora, who supported Ruto’s opponent Raila Odinga during the polls, said it was too early to dismiss the president and his team.

Kenyans Say 100 Days Under President Ruto Have Been Very Difficult

Kenya’s former Justice Minister, Martha Karua Friday petitioned the East African Court of Justice to overturn President William Ruto’s August election victory.
Karua was the running mate to veteran opposition leader Raila Odinga.
She filed the petition jointly with Muslims for Human Rights, a non-governmental organization, accusing the Kenyan electoral commission, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), of a “clear violation of the applicable laws.”
In her petition to the regional court, which is based in neighbouring Tanzania, Karua said the IEBC “engaged in multiple acts that violated the rights of the applicants and of other citizens,” according to Reuters news agency.
She said the violations included allowing unauthorised people to access, delete, alter or upload results.
<a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/kenyas-raila-odinga-challenges-election-result-in-court/">Odinga challenged the election outcome</a> but <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/kenya-raila-odinga-speaks-after-supreme-court-upheld-william-rutos-election/">Kenya’s Supreme Court upheld Ruto’s victory</a> in September.
Odinga accepted the Supreme Court’s ruling, allaying fears of political violence experienced after previous elections.
Ruto won the election held in August despite a public repudiation by his former boss, outgoing President Uhuru Kenyatta, who said Ruto was “not fit for office.”

Kenya: Former Justice Minister Petitions Court To Overturn Ruto's Re-election

Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni has removed his son, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, as commander of Uganda’s land forces, the military said on Tuesday.
This was after Kainerugaba repeatedly threatened on Twitter to invade neighbouring Kenya.
Kainerugaba, widely regarded as the de facto head of the military and his father’s chosen successor, later said the comments were made in jest. He posted on Twitter:
<blockquote>
It wouldn’t take us, my army and me, 2 weeks to capture Nairobi (Kenya’s capital).
Union is a MUST! No honourable men can allow these artificial, colonial borders anymore. If we our generation has men then these borders must fall!.
</blockquote>
The military issued a statement announcing his replacement as land forces commander saying Kainerugaba had been promoted from lieutenant general to full general and would remain a senior presidential adviser for special operations. It gave no reason for the decision.
On Tuesday, Uganda’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement pledging its “peaceful co-existence” with neighbouring Kenya. Without mentioning Kainerugaba, the statement read in part:
<blockquote>
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has noted the debate on social media in respect to the relationship between Uganda and Kenya. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to clarify that the government of the Republic of Uganda does not conduct its foreign policy and other official business through social media.
</blockquote>
A Kenyan government spokesman said he had not read Uganda’s statement and would respond later.
President Yoweri Museveni yesterday <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/president-museveni-apologises-to-ruto-after-his-son-said-uganda-could-capture-nairobi-in-2-weeks/">issued an apology</a> to the recently elected president of Kenya, William Ruto over the matter. 
This is happening when there has been reciprocal violence between pastoralist groups in the Kenyan-Ugandan border region due to livestock raiding and competition for water and pastures. 
More frequent and severe droughts as well as the accumulation of weapons from war-torn neighbouring countries are further worsening this situation.

President Yoweri Museveni's Son Fired From Military Role Over Tweet On Invasion Of Kenya

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has issued an apology to the people of Kenya and Uganda after his son, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, posted a series of tweets where he joked about invading Italy and neighbouring Kenya. He said on Twitter that his country’s land forces could capture Nairobi in two weeks, a comment that has angered Ugandan opposition leaders and many Kenyans. In a statement seen by Pindula News, Museveni said he had spoken to the recently elected president of Kenya, William Ruto over the matter. Reads the statement:
<blockquote>
Dear Ugandans, the brotherly People of Kenya and all East Africans. I greet all of you. Again, I hail the peaceful elections that took place in Kenya recently where H.E. William Ruto emerged winner. I, again, congratulate him on that victory.
</blockquote>
<div data-loaded="true" data-page-number="1">
<blockquote>
<div>I ask our Kenyan brothers and sisters to forgive us for tweets sent by General Muhoozi, former Commander of Land Forces here, regarding the election matters in that great country. It is not correct for Public officers, be they civilian or military, to comment or interfere in any way, in the internal affairs of brother countries. The only available legitimate forum is the Peer Review Mechanism of the African Union or confidential interactions among us or EAC and AU fora –not public comments. </div>
<div>Why, then, promote him to full General after these comments? This is because this mistake is one aspect where he has acted negatively as a Public officer. There are, however, many other positive contributions the General has made and can still make. This is a time-tested formula –discourage the negative and encourage the positive. Very sorry, ndugu zetu Wakenya. Also sorry to the Ugandans who could have been annoyed by one of their officials meddling in the affairs of brother Kenya. I know for a fact that General Muhoozi is a passionate Pan-Africanist. However, the correct method for Pan-Africanists is confidential interactions or using the available fora (EAC and AU), especially if you are a Public officer. </div>
<div>I have conveyed all those views confidentially to H.E. Ruto, the President of Kenya.</div>
<div>Signed:</div>
<div>YK Museveni (Gen. Rtd.)</div>
<div>The old man with a hat</div>
</blockquote>
<div>A day after the controversial tweets, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, was been promoted to general, the Uganda Defense forces spokesperson announced Tuesday.</div>

President Museveni Apologises To Ruto After His Son Said Uganda Could Capture Nairobi In 2 Weeks

Newly elected Kenyan President William Ruto made his debut address to the United Nations General Assembly as a head of state on Wednesday.
Ruto made his presentation at the UNGA days after arriving from London where he attended the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.
In his address, Ruto called for the removal of the unilateral sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe and Cuba by Western powers saying they undermine the sovereignty of the targetted countries and also worsen the suffering of millions of innocent people. He said:
<blockquote>
There might never be a more opportune time to revisit the practice of unilateral coercive actions, which often violate fundamental tenets of a rule-based international order, such as those imposed on Zimbabwe and Cuba.
Apart from undermining the sovereign equality of nations, they also indiscriminately punish the general citizenry, reserving their bitterest sting for innocent hustlers and the vulnerable. This compounds injustice and worsens suffering.
</blockquote>
Ruto also called for urgent action to deal with challenges facing mankind such as climate change, the global food crisis, terrorism, cybercrime, and armed conflict.

President Ruto Tells United Nations Zim Sanctions Must Go

William Ruto was sworn in as Kenya’s fifth president on Tuesday at a ceremony attended by tens of thousands of people in the capital, Nairobi.
Ruto narrowly won the 9 August election with 50.5% of the vote, to his main rival Raila Odinga’s 48.8%.
Ruto hailed his inauguration as “a moment like no other”, adding that a “village boy” had become president.
But Odinga did not attend. He issued a statement saying he had “serious concerns” about his opponent’s victory.
Odinga has alleged that the result was rigged, but the Supreme Court has ruled the election was free and fair.
Ruto, who was Kenya’s Vice President from 2012 to 2022, was handed a copy of Kenya’s constitution and a sword to represent the transfer of power from President Uhuru Kenyatta.
With his hand on a Bible, the 55-year-old swore to preserve and protect the constitution. He said:
<blockquote>
Standing here today is testimony that there is God in heaven. I want to thank God because a village boy has become the president of Kenya.
</blockquote>
Unlike his predecessor Uhuru, who is the son of Kenya’s first President Jomo Kenyatta, Ruto grew up in rural areas.
He also portrayed himself as a hustler who was challenging an attempt by two dynasties – the Odingas and Kenyattas – to hang on to power.
Raila is the son of Kenya’s first Vice-President Jaramogi Oginga Odinga.
Ruto had conciliatory words for Odinga and all his opponents. He said:
<blockquote>
Their supporters will be my constituents. I will work with all Kenyans irrespective of who they voted for.
</blockquote>
There was also a handshake between the outgoing Kenyatta and Ruto despite their differences during their second term in office.
Kenyatta has stepped down at the end of his two terms. He backed Odinga in the election, saying Ruto was unworthy to serve as president.
Kenyatta congratulated Ruto on his win but only a day before his inauguration.
About 20 heads of state from across Africa attended the event.
Leaders from the Christian and Islamic faiths offered prayers for the new president. | <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-62886989">BBC News</a>
