The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said that it is closely monitoring the situation in Kenya following youth-led protests in rejection of the Finance Bill, 2024 and remains committed to helping the country overcome its economic woes.
In its first official statement since the protests, largely blamed on stringent terms imposed on Kenya's financial support, IMF said it is deeply concerned about the skirmishes that began last week culminating in a breach of the Parliament building in Nairobi on Tuesday. Several youth were killed during the Tuesday protests and scores of others were injured.
