#PressStatement
@WilliamsRuto is scapegoating migrant workers for his regime’s failure to deliver on promises to create jobs and alleviate poverty since taking office four years ago.
With less than a year until a decisive poll, Ruto is, unfortunately, trying to whip up public emotions, especially among voters from low-income neighbourhoods (as he did with his Hustlers Vs Dynasties narrative in the last general election), by falsely attributing their unemployment to migrants operating in Kenya.
Kenyans should recognise that the economic hardship many face is largely the product of the Kenya Kwanza regime’s own policies, not the presence of migrant workers.

Torching of Governor @orengo_james 's car during the #LindaMwananchi rally in Migori is a troubling reflection of the growing political intolerance. Democracy thrives on ideas, debate, and persuasion, not violence, intimidation, or destruction of property. Kenya deserves better.

2 weeks into August and Kenya has witnessed atleast 5 alleged extrajudicial killings by police, Maureen Nduku, Eric Omondi, Eric Muiruri, Gideon Makau, Simon Kang'ethe and others. These incidences come after the harsh orders from IG Kanja to his juniors.

As we await the actions of those words, Kenyans are left wondering when will police reforms take effect.

During the ongoing Fifth Session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee on the United Nations Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation, KHRC submitted proposals on Article 6, which addresses the effective taxation of high-net-worth individuals.
The proposals urge countries to work together to stop tax avoidance and evasion by the wealthy. Together with the African Civil Society Working Group on the UN Tax Convention, we are pushing for more transparency around how the rich hide and move their money, as well as joint efforts to tax them, while still allowing each country to decide its own tax policies.
