Today's demonstrations have revealed its all-time rage after action to fight the finance bill being witnessed in almost every county.

In a drastic event, former US Pres. Barrack Obama's sister was spotted in the protests as she was trying to have a conversation with CNN journalist, Larry Madowo before a teargas canisters were thrown towards them.

"Young Kenyans are demonstrating for their rights, they are demonstrating with flags and banners, I can't even see anymore we are being teargassed." Auma Obama lamented.

As demonstrators retaliated more canisters were shot towards them in a bid to disperse them. They seemed to be very peaceful.

Auma decried that she could not believe that even peaceful protesters could be harassed against the constitution of Kenya.

"How can you teargas your own people? Listen to them, they are our future, 80% of our population. If they decide to turn against us they can." Auma stated.

The Kenyan activist also mentioned that ever since she saw protests, she has never seen one like this because there is no political involvement and they are doing it on their own.

"These are the young leader of our future and they say they will win so we need to listen to them and we are not fighting each other so listen to them because it is their lives." The activist urged the government.

She also claimed that the issue concerning the bill is that it is touching on ancestral land where people bury their own yet the finance bill expects people to pay taxes on those lands.

"Are we going back to the colonial situation? It is not right, these people need a future they have no jobs and over 50% of our population do not have jobs." Auma said.

The activist lamented that the government is taxing people without any job then advising them to get loans then later get financially endangered.
