According to Ruto, he made up this decision after keenly reflecting and listening to to Kenyans especially GenZ who called for cabinet changes and also told Ruto step down after weeks of protests over the affairs of the country.<\/p>\n<p>The Finance bill 2024 which had been introduced by the Ruto government caused fury as Kenyans expressed discontent that it would make the already high standard of living more harder. The Kenyans would later storm the streets, overpower police, gain access to parliament as the security forces opened fire to them injuring several and killing many.<\/p>\n<p>President Ruto consequently rejected the bill and declined to sign on it and ordered for it&#8217;s withdrawal. This however didn&#8217;t help as the determined youths continued protesting calling for more from Ruto including stepping down from power.<\/p>\n<p>TOO LATE, TOO LITTLE.
