I have seen the Kenya Kwanza regime doing a lot of public education on the Finance Bill, maybe thinking they are preventing another June 2024 moment.
What they do not understand is that June 2024 may not repeat itself as a Finance Bill protest, but it opened the door for anything. Kenyans can wake up tomorrow and protest over taxes, corruption, unemployment, police brutality, arrogance, school fees, fuel prices, electricity bills, or even because they do not like how the President smiles when people are suffering.
That is how uncalculating this regime is. They think the problem was one document called the Finance Bill, yet the real problem is anger, mistrust and the feeling that citizens are being ruled by people who do not listen.
You can explain the Finance Bill from morning to evening, but you cannot public educate people out of hunger, joblessness and betrayal.
