President William Ruto of Kenya has announced key austerity measures aimed at addressing public discontent and cutting government expenditure amid protests in the East African country.


Budgets allocated to the offices of the First Lady and Second Lady have been eliminated, while a ban was also placed on the purchase of new cars for government use.

President Ruto’s actions are seen as a step towards addressing these concerns and demonstrating fiscal responsibility.
