How did women react to male protesters?

In a widely shared video, Jess went gaga as she zoomed at several men drawn from the Gen Z-led crowd as they protested against the Bill in Nairobi.

The video showed the men performing their civic duties at the CBD while Jess secretly recorded them from a distance.

Jess explained that she was lost for choice because she saw her type at every turn.

"Orange hat guy. Kids, that’s how I met your father," Jess captioned the video.

A large section of Jess' female followers agreed with her observations:

Leoncia Terrie:

"Aiii, yesterday my eyes were happy. The problem is you can’t mix love with tax."

wangu.ii.i:

"I wish I were lying, the number of times I turned my head."

Kate Thuku:

"Wuehh, guys, were looking real good."

Mell:

"There was this tall one with locs; I almost followed him home."

Furaha:

"All the tall and short men were too attractive.”

Peace:

"I swear guys were hot."

Njeri Ngigi:

"I fell in love like a million times."

Just_Nicole:

"This is where you realise there's many fish in the sea."

Zin:

“So demos will not stop you from finding your husband?"

Nommy:

"I accidentally stepped on my type.... almost asked him "What are we?"

_.e.s.s.i.e:

"I thought I was the only one seeing my type everywhere I go.”

yahoo_gur:

"There were very fine men yesterday.”

Charles Kilonzo, a 21-year-old student who partook in the protests told TUKO.co.ke that the demos were a prime hunting ground for a partner.

"I met a lady with a placard along Kenyatta Avenue and we've gone on our first date already."

Why did cop resign?

While the TikToker's post is heartwarming and showcases the brighter side of the June 25 protests, the demos later turned deadly.

A video of a plain-clothed police officer wailing in pain captured the tragedy of the Finance Bill chaos after his brother was shot dead outside Parliament.

The officer was inconsolable - screamed in anguish, pleading with the police to also kill him. He pledged to resign and return his police uniform.

Why William Ruto declined to sign the Finance Bill 2024

• President William Ruto announced the withdrawal of the unpopular Finance Bill 2024 after mass protests.
• Ruto said he had deliberated on the citizenry's concerns and consulted the lawmakers in his faction before making his decision.
• On Wednesday, June 26, he asked Members of Parliament (MPs) to delete all the clauses in the bill.
