The broadcast dubbed The Exchange: Conversation for a better future which featured IMF managing director Kristalina Georgieva and Christiana Figueres ended after 23 minutes with most comments on the platform emanating from angry Kenyans using the hashtag #StopLoaningKenya .
Over the last three weeks, Kenyan netizens have escalated their criticism of the international lender, after the IMF Executive Board approved a Kshs. 257 Billion loan to the country in March which aims at helping in the mitigation of the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
But Kenyans expressed outrage through a petition, claiming that most of the donor funds issued within the last year instead ended in people’s pockets.
