Kenyan President William Ruto on Wednesday announced he’s backed down from a massive tax hike plan that had sparked violent and sometimes deadly protests, one of which saw former President Barack Obama’s half-sister Auma tear-gassed in Nairobi on Tuesday, Sky News reports
“Listening keenly to the people of Kenya who have said loudly that they want nothing to do with this finance bill 2024. I concede. And therefore, I will not sign the 2024 finance bill, and it shall subsequently be withdrawn,” Ruto said in the announcement of his surrender to the woke mob.
