Roots Party leader George Wajackoyah on Sunday June 23, 2024 led Kenyans in protesting against the Financial Bill 2024 in Dallas, United States of America.

At the same time, Wajakoya who was a presidential candidate in the August 2022 general elections appreciated Kenyan youth, including Gen-Z for organizing peaceful protests against the Finance Bill.

Speaking in Dallas on Sunday, Wajakoya emphasized that the entire Bill must be rejected by all Kenyans, including elected leaders. 

“Today I joined Kenyans in Dallas Texas, United States of America to protest against the ill fated Financial Bill in Kenya,” Wajakoya posted on his Facebook page.

The Roots party leader also called for solidarity among Kenyans both at home and abroad, urging the diaspora community to voice their concerns and support the ‘reject Finance Bill’ protests in their home country. 

“We want to strongly reject the controversial taxes as proposed in the bill and I am happy our young generation, Gen Z, are leading the struggle,” said Wajakoya.

His remarks emerged at a time when Kenyans were mobilizing on social media to continue with the ‘occupy parliament’ demonstrations in Nairobi and other parts of the country this week.
