 Kenyan President Cancels First Lady’s Office Budget, Official Trips Amid Protests 

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.

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