IMF and Kenya: Protests, Debt, and the Struggle for Stability

Kenya, once East Africa’s beacon of economic development and democratic stability, now faces political and financial turmoil.
Massive protests erupted after parliament passed a bill hiking taxes on essential goods, further burdening an already struggling population.
The violent crackdown on protesters and subsequent deaths have deepened the crisis. President William Ruto’s refusal to sign the controversial tax bill to address Kenya’s staggering $80 billion debt has left the country’s future uncertain.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF), a key player in Kenya’s economic policies, faces fierce criticism for its austerity measures.
As Kenya navigates these turbulent waters, questions about its political and economic stability intensify.
