Kenyan protesters have vowed to persist with their demonstrations against new tax increases following violent clashes that resulted in at least 23 deaths and numerous injuries. The protests, which began as an outcry against tax hikes, have evolved into a nationwide movement demanding political reform, marking a significant challenge to President William Ruto's administration.
On Wednesday, supporters of the protest movement took to the streets in Nairobi, using the hashtag #tutanethursday to signal their intention to continue the protests. The unrest, triggered by the passing of controversial tax measures by lawmakers, led to confrontations with heavily armed police forces.
