President William Ruto has said he is ready to engage youths protesting against ‘harsh’ tax laws pushed by his administration. The group, Gen Z, have planned a week-long protest to push the MPs to reject the controversial Bill. They have stepped forward, tribeless, they have stepped forward peacefully and I want to tell them we are going to engage them to build a better nation," Ruto said. Organisers of the protests said politicians who voted 'Yes' for the Bill should not be allowed to speak in churches. I agree, let’s respect the church going forward,” he said.
