A widely shared video clip, sourced from Citizen TV’s live YouTube feed, depicts anti-riot police fighting irate demonstrators who have threatened to take over the National Assembly premises before members of parliament vote on the Finance Bill 2024.
The video shows President William Ruto and his staff speaking to the media from the State House, and shows demonstrators using tear gas canisters and making some arrests in an effort to defuse the tension before the pivotal discussion.
The head of state insisted at his press conference that the proposed tax on sanitary pads and diapers will go forward as planned and that it will not impact diapers made in the nation.
The controversial motor vehicle tax that was going to be placed on all Kenyans was also going to be eliminated, the head of state stated. This decision was made unanimously.
