Kenyans are calling for the immediate resignation of President William Ruto, citing numerous issues that have negatively impacted the nation. Despite his recent withdrawal of a finance bill that would have raised taxes to address Kenya's debt, public dissatisfaction remains high.
A viral Twitter post, which has gained thousands of interactions, declares: "We no longer recognize William Ruto as the President of Kenya. We recall his presidency and urge him to immediately resign and surrender his office to the Kenyan people.”
The withdrawal of the controversial finance bill, intended to increase taxes, has not eased public anger. Many Kenyans have taken to social media to express their frustration.
In his statement, Ruto emphasized that retracting the bill would create a significant funding gap for development programs aimed at supporting farmers, teachers, and others. He argued that the tax increases were necessary to service Kenya's debt, which stands at approximately 10 trillion shillings ($78 billion), about 70 percent of the country's GDP.
