A majority of the young people in Kenya support most of the actions taken thus far by President Willian Ruto as a result of the protests, polls agency Infotrak Research & Consulting has said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWithdrawal of the Finance Bill 2024 garnered the highest support (94%), followed by dissolution of the cabinet (89%), review of various budgetary allocations (87%), the resignation of the former Inspector General of Police Japheth Koome (76%), and banning of public officers from participating in fundraisings (65%),\u201d the company indicated in its latest survey findings.<\/p>\n
The firm further confirmed that issues such as the high cost of living (54%), unemployment (52%), the withdrawn Finance Bill 2024 (43%), and corruption (36%) were the main triggers of the youth protests that began one month ago.<\/p>\n
The findings of the survey conducted 14th and 15th of July 2024 showed that about three in every four (74%) interviewed Gen Zs across the eight regions support the ongoing youth-led protests.<\/p>\n
\u201cHigh cost of living (43%), desire for change in the country (39%), unemployment (36%), and need for accountability (30%) are the major factors driving the youths to support the protests,\u201d said the Angela Ambitho-led firm<\/p>\n
