The widespread demonstrations across Kenya have caused significant disruption to economic activities and social fabric.
While the protesters have legitimate grievances that deserve to be addressed, the continued paralysis of major towns is taking a heavy toll on the nation's economy.
Tuesday's protests, though not as intense as previous ones, still managed to cripple transportation and commercial activities in many areas.
This pattern of unrest is unsustainable and must be ended through meaningful compromise between the government and the demonstrators.
The President's attempts to address the protesters' concerns, such as withdrawing controversial tax measures, are commendable.
However, the demonstrators, have shown no signs of backing down. This hardline stance on both sides risks plunging the country into deeper economic turmoil, ultimately harming all Kenyans.
The government and the protesters must find a middle ground and work towards a resolution that addresses the core issues driving the unrest.
Failure to do so could lead to the collapse of the economy, with far-reaching consequences that will affect every citizen.
