The Gen-Z-led anti-finance bill protests have changed the walls of the once aesthetic building to unprintable talking walls.
One week after the heated street battles with the anti-riot police that culminated in storming the parliament, the wrath of the protestors still speaks volumes.
During the protests, some of the demonstrators chose to vent their frustration with the government by writing lewd stuff on the walls of strategic buildings.
Some of the literature is so hilarious and comical, it leaves you chuckling throughout while some have no regard for the government and presidency.
“Forgive Baba, he is observing good table manners as he eats with Kenya Kwisha. With his mouth full, he can’t talk about bad governance,”reads a graffiti along Moi Avenue.
In another stretch along Dedan Kimathi Street, the face artists seem to be targeting the President William’s exorbitant tax regime.

Described as the biblical tax collector, the scribes seem to be telling President Ruto to scale down or take drop some of his tough tax measures.
The inscriptions vary in fonts,sizes, and contexts.
Some of the graffiti sampled by Ghetto Radio along the uptown streets reads;
“Zakayo Aende,Mwizi, Ruto Must Go!,Fresh Election,Reject Elections,Freedom.”
In sharp contrast,the intentions of the artists in downtown and uptown seem to be worlds apart.
The graffiti spotted along Lithuli,River Road, and Nyamakima and Ngara areas were out-rightly lewd,vulgar offensive, and socially unacceptable utterance.
