Simi becomes part of Kenya's anti-tax demonstrations

Nigerian singer Simisola Kosoko, also known as Simi, has joined the chorus of voices speaking out against the recent tax hikes in Kenya. 

The protests, known as 'RejectFinanceBill2024,' by Ken are demanding a reversal of the tax increases.

The demonstrations took a violent turn when protesters clashed with police outside the parliament building in Nairobi. 

Tragically, five people were shot dead and many others were injured in the chaos. Amnesty Kenya has condemned the use of excessive force by the police and called for a peaceful resolution to the protests.

Simi's support for the anti-tax hike movement has brought international attention to the situation in Kenya. Her advocacy for social justice and equality has resonated with many, and her voice adds to the growing calls for change in the country. As the protests continue, it is clear that the people of Kenya are determined to make their voices heard and demand accountability from their government.

On Tuesday night, Simi expressed her support for the demonstrators using her X handle.

Simi pstated that “it is both powerful and heartbreaking for a people to have to fight and die for freedoms and rights.”

The singer wrote, “I stand with the people of Kenya. It is both powerful and heartbreaking for a people to have to fight and die for freedoms any rights. Godspeed and Strength. [Hash tag] RejectFinanceBill2024.”

In a series of other posts, she wrote: “Wow. When you’ve had enough, the fight is almost inevitable.

“African leaders – haven’t you done enough?
