President William Ruto is making his third state of the nation address since taking office in 2022 .
Ruto introduced a Finance Bill this year to try to boost government coffers, but proposed tax hikes on basic items like bread, cooking oil and sanitary pads sparked the protests.
He cancelled the Finance Bill but has since quietly reintroduced many of its tax hikes through three new bills, including VAT hikes and new taxes on the digital sector.
