Inequality, corruption and police brutality in Kenya: Mehdi Hasan & Kimani Ichung’wah | Head to Head
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSIA7ZB9i00
In 2024, thousands of young Kenyans took to the streets to protest the country’s deepening cost-of-living crisis and the controversial finance bill proposed by the government of President William Ruto.
Authorities responded to the protests with a brutal crackdown that killed dozens of Kenyans and injured hundreds. Meanwhile, a growing number of abductions have rocked the country – which human rights groups say Kenyan police are responsible for.
So what lies ahead for the country and its president?
Mehdi Hasan goes head-to-head with Kimani Ichung’wah, the majority leader of the Kenyan National Assembly, on President Ruto’s rule, the government’s clampdown on dissent and its economic crisis.
Joining the discussion are: Awino Okech – Professor of feminist and security studies at University of London-SOAS Irungu Houghton – Executive director of Amnesty International Kenya Moses Langat – Kenya community leader in the diaspora, based in the UK.
