KENYA President William Ruto said yesterday that he won’t sign a finance Bill proposing new taxes into law, a day after protesters stormed parliament and at least 22 people were shot dead.

The government wanted to raise funds to pay off debt, but Kenyans said the Bill would cause more economic pain as millions struggle to get by.

The president now says the Bill caused “widespread dissatisfaction” and he has listened to the people and “conceded.”
