In the heart of Nairobi, Kenya, tens of thousands of protesters flooded the streets in a powerful display of dissent against the newly proposed Finance Bill for 2024. The atmosphere was charged with anger and frustration as activists, citizens, and even a few notable celebrities and politicians joined forces to challenge the government's tax hikes, which they argued would further burden an already overtaxed population..

The root of the discontent lay in the Finance Bill's proposed tax increases, which include levies on basic commodities such as bread, vegetable oil, and sugar, as well as a new motor vehicle circulation tax pegged at 2.5% of a car's value annually. An "eco levy" on manufactured goods, including essential items like sanitary towels and diapers, has also been a point of contention. Additionally, the bill proposes higher taxes on financial transactions, a move seen as detrimental to both individuals and businesses.
