Kenya’s President William Ruto has begun a historic public online forum with anti-tax protesters on social media platform X Spaces, saying he is there to listen.
His 31-year-old daughter Charlene Ruto billed it as “the first ever president in the world to hold an online meeting with all Gen Z”, in reference to the young people behind the recent protests that have rocked her father’s presidency.
The demonstrations against his finance bill were organized via X Spaces, a feature that allows users to host live audio conversations with others on the platform formerly known as Twitter.
A section of Kenyans on X has vowed to boycott the president’s chat and has planned a parallel Space to counter the conversation. END
