Why are there protests in Kenya?
Asked 4 hours ago
Answer
Protests in Kenya are driven by public anger over police brutality, economic hardship, corruption, and the government's failure to deliver on promises. The death of blogger Albert Ojuang in police custody, tax hikes, subsidy cuts, and continued reports of police violence have intensified demonstrations. Protesters demand President Ruto's resignation, citing unfulfilled pledges to empower ordinary citizens and end police abuse. The rallies also coincide with the anniversary of historic pro-democracy protests.
