The hacker group Anonymous has issued a warning to President William Ruto amidst rising tensions and protests in Kenya. The “Occupy Parliament” protests are driven by widespread public dissatisfaction with the proposed Finance Bill, 2024, which many believe will exacerbate economic hardships due to increased taxes.

The protests, led by civil society and supported by opposition figures like Raila Odinga, are aimed at blocking parliamentary proceedings and demanding the rejection of the bill. President Ruto has responded firmly, stating he will not tolerate demonstrations that result in violence or loss of life, emphasizing the need for political stability and respect for the electoral process.

Anonymous has warned the Kenyan government of potential cyber-attacks if the administration does not address the protesters’ grievances. The group’s involvement signals a significant escalation in the digital realm, potentially threatening government and infrastructure systems.
