The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has advised the Kenya Kwanza government to address corruption to regain the trust of Gen Z, who are skeptical about tax increases and their intended public benefits.  

The call comes in the wake of violent anti-tax protests in June predominantly led by the youth. 

In a briefing held in Washington DC on Friday, IMF officials also revealed they would send experts in public finance management and anti-corruption to help the President William Ruto administration audit its legal framework and close existing corruption loopholes.
