Recent data shows that chicken egg prices are continuously dropping, reaching a near 3-year low due to a combination of decreased consumption during the off-season, surplus production capacity, and the aftermath of last year's imported egg incident. With current farmgate prices at 25.5 NTD and wholesale prices at 35 NTD, unless demand significantly increases, further price drops are possible. Agriculture Minister Chen Chun-Chi noted that consumers are eating fewer eggs this year as backend markets have not felt the price decrease. To address the egg surplus issue, the Agriculture Ministry and Poultry Association will start encouraging the elimination of 1.8 million low-producing hens in July, providing a subsidy of 20 NTD per hen. Chen Chun-Chi also discussed improving agricultural migrant worker policies at an economic committee meeting and stressed the need for appropriate price adjustments and increased egg consumption.

During a legislative session, Kuomintang party members revealed that Taiwan Power Company suddenly introduced a new plan on June 17 to implement the 'Residential and Commercial Automatic Demand Response' program from July to November this year. During the peak electricity usage period, households would receive discounts of $48 per month on fixed electricity fees and $10 per kilowatt-hour on flexible electricity fees to encourage voluntary power outages. This move was heavily criticized by KMT member Hung Meng-kai, who questioned if this was truly a power shortage or just a cover-up of the facts by the DPP government. He argued that the plan aimed at shifting the focus of demand response to general households highlighted potential inadequacies in Taiwan's energy policy. The plan coincides with the decommissioning of Nuclear Power Plant Three and the high electricity demand during the summer, raising doubts about the necessity of such measures to manage electricity usage. The criticism extended to the perceived low feedback for power conservation efforts, where users would only save an average of $88 and fixed electricity fees would decrease by a mere $48, prompting ridicule from netizens questioning if a monthly payment of $48 to Taiwan Power Company could guarantee uninterrupted electricity supply throughout the summer. This move by the power company also raised concerns about the involvement of general households in power conservation when other alternatives like increasing the share of carbon-free energy sources were available. The criticisms come amid calls for a more transparent explanation from the government regarding Taiwan's actual power supply situation.

Exclusive report dated June 26, 2024, at 10:59 PM IST by @FinPlanKaluAja1; after the Kenyan Parliament passed a tax bill earlier this week, thousands of protesters stormed the parliament building in protest. President Rutro ordered the military to crackdown, with the police resorting to live ammunition, resulting in at least 5 deaths and over 30 injuries.

Obama's half-sister, Auma Obama, also participated in the anti-government movement. The unrest escalated when protesters entered the parliament building, leading to a military crackdown that turned fatal. The President defended the tax bill as essential for national development, but the public demanded its repeal. The protests spread nationwide, with nightclubs playing the national anthem in solidarity and religious leaders opposing the tax policy.

The authorities accused foreign forces of inciting the protests, a claim rejected by the demonstrators. The international community expressed concern, urging restraint and dialogue. Local human rights groups reported nocturnal abductions of over 10 online activists suspected to be by Kenyan intelligence to halt the protests from escalating, greatly impacting Kenya's social stability and international reputation.
