Kenyans Demand New Government: President William Ruto Given 48-Hour Ultimatum to Resign. Amidst widespread discontent over corruption, economic instability, and government failures, Kenyans take to the streets, calling for accountability and responsible governance. Despite withdrawing a controversial tax package, public anger persists, with protesters facing police crackdowns and demands for a new administration intensify.

Kenyans have given President William Ruto a 48-hour notice to resign in order to form a new government that is dedicated to accountability, openness, and responsible governance.

“We no longer recognise William Ruto as the President of Kenya,” reads a widely shared declaration on Twitter, contributing to the resignation call's notable momentum. We remember his presidency and implore him to step down right away and turn over power to the Kenyan people.

There has been a lot of discussion around this comment, which reflects the general unhappiness.

The public's indignation persists even after President Ruto withdrew a contentious fiscal package that called for tax rises.

The public's indignation persists even after President Ruto withdrew a contentious fiscal package that called for tax rises.

There was strong opposition to the bill, which was meant to handle Kenya's debt of almost 10 trillion shillings ($78 billion), or roughly 70% of GDP.

Ruto emphasized that there would be a large financial gap for vital development initiatives, such as those assisting teachers and farmers, in the absence of the tax rises.

According to reports, Kenyans have suffered with widespread corruption, unstable economies, and problems with government, which has resulted in rising living expenses and high unemployment rates.

The public's annoyance has culminated in demonstrations and a passionate call for reform.

Numerous demonstrators expressed their displeasure with the administration by taking to the streets, claiming that it is beset by “incompetence, mismanagement, and a persistent failure to address the nation's pressing needs.”

Soldiers were stationed, while police wearing anti-riot gear blocked roads leading to Ruto's office at State House and parliament. It was reported that Kenyan police had shot rubber bullets and tear gas at protesters.
