Kenyan protesters have vowed to continue their demonstrations against new tax hikes, following violent clashes on Tuesday that resulted in at least 23 deaths.
Kenyan protesters vowed on Wednesday to keep up their demonstrations against new tax hikes, a day after violent clashes outside parliament and across the country left at least 23 people dead and scores wounded. As heavily armed police patrolled the streets of the capital Nairobi on Wednesday, supporters of the week-old protest movement took to X, using the hashtag #tutanethursday, or 'see you on Thursday' in a mix of Swahili and English.
Lawmakers removed some tax hikes from the final version of the finance bill, including ones on bread and cooking oil, but inserted others in an effort to avoid a budget gap. Protesters, who have no formal leadership and are primarily organized on social media platform, say they want the entire bill scrapped, and many are now demanding that Ruto resign.
