The ongoing demonstrations have had a significant financial impact on Kenya, with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) reporting a revenue loss of KSh 6 billion. Government spokesperson Isaac Mwaura disclosed this figure in a recent press briefing, emphasizing the detrimental effects of the protests on the nation\u2019s economy and employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“According to the Kenya Revenue Authority, the country has lost KSh 6 billion because of the demos,” Mwaura stated. “If we continue like this, we are going to destroy people’s businesses and there will be no employment for our people.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demonstrations, which have taken place over several weeks, have seen participation from various groups voicing their discontent over a range of issues. While many protesters have demonstrated peacefully, Mwaura highlighted that some individuals have exploited the situation to engage in criminal activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Some demonstrators have been peaceful, but there are criminals who have taken advantage of it,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This distinction is crucial as the government seeks to address the legitimate concerns of peaceful demonstrators while maintaining law and order. In response to the unrest, the government has expressed a willingness to engage in dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mwaura called for discussions to begin at the grassroots level, urging families to communicate and prevent further unrest. He asked parents to dissuade their Gen Z children from taking part in more demos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
