President William Ruto has said the Gen Z-led protests gave the country a chance to rebuild. The protests put the President under pressure leading to him rejecting the Finance Bill 2024 which sparked the street protests. Ruto bowed to pressure and rejected the Finance Bill and referred it back to Parliament for deletion of all the clauses. He said that most of the development projects he had planned to implement were contained in the Finance Bill. He, however, said some of the projects had been budgeted for in the rejected Finance Bill and therefore their completion is likely to delay.
