Kenya Protests: Churches Block Politicians to Prevent Public Anger

In Kenya, protests have been raging over a controversial bill to raise taxes, with many young citizens expressing their discontent with the government’s decision. In an effort to avoid the public’s wrath, politicians have been barred from entering churches by clergy members. This move comes in response to mounting pressure from the youth, who are now setting their sights on the religious leaders in their fight against the proposed tax hike. As tensions continue to rise, the role of the clergy in the political sphere remains a contentious issue in Kenya’s current climate of unrest.
