President Ruto hosts an online forum for young people amidst nationwide protests, but faces backlash as Kenyans plan parallel engagements.

In a groundbreaking move, President Ruto of Kenya is set to engage with the youth in an online forum to address their concerns amidst nationwide protests. The event aims to provide a platform for young people to voice their complaints and grievances directly to the President.
