George Wajackoyah, Roots Party leader and former presidential aspirant, led a protest in Dallas, USA, against the Finance Bill 2024. Criticized for potentially harming Kenyans’ economic well-being, the bill has sparked widespread outrage. Wajackoyah, known for his outspoken stance on national issues, urged the diaspora community to voice their concerns and support Generation Z’s protests. “We want to drive out fraudsters with our young Generation Z,” he declared.
In Kenya, protests continue. Chants of ‘Ruto Must Go’ echoed in nightclubs in Nairobi, Nakuru, Eldoret, and other cities. Videos on social media showed DJs halting music for protest chants, with clubs like Timba XO in Eldoret and Platinum 7D in Nakuru erupting into anti-bill slogans for up to 30 minutes.
What started as a TikTok outcry has evolved into a political movement, with at least two protesters killed by police. Nationwide nightclub protests, organized through social media, saw youths in Nairobi and beyond chanting ‘Ruto Must Go!’ and rejecting the bill. In some clubs, DJs played protest songs and led moments of silence for victims. The ‘7 Days of Rage’ campaign has mobilized Kenyans, fostering solidarity against the Finance Bill and uniting them in their fight for economic justice.
