Kenyans again flooded the comment section of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Facebook page, demanding the entity should stop loaning cash to the country. The broadcast dubbed The Exchange: Conversation for a better future which featured IMF managing director Kristalina Georgieva and Christiana Figueres ended after 23 minutes with most comments on the platform emanating from angry Kenyans using the hashtag #StopLoaningKenya . But Kenyans expressed outrage through a petition, claiming that most of the donor funds issued within the last year instead ended in people’s pockets. Soon after, thousands of Kenyans signed the petition on CHANGE.org which drew the attention of major international media outlets. This is the second time in less than a month that Kenyans are urging the IMF to stop extending financial loans to the country.
