William Ruto Debates Angry Protesters | Firstpost Africa

Kenya’s President William Ruto faced tough questions from antitax protesters during a debate on the social media platform X. More than 150,000 joined the interaction, which was organized via X Spaces, a feature that allows users to host live audio conversations with others on the platform formerly known as Twitter. Protesters bombarded Ruto with tough and direct questions, calling him president a liar and accusing him of lacking empathy. Ruto confirmed that the controversial finance bill had indeed been withdrawn, as protesters feared it still might become law after 21 days as it had been passed by parliament. While many people say that live interaction is not enough, it sets a precedent with social media being used for directly engaging with a country's leader to put forward concerns.
