Hundreds of Kenyans protested in Nairobi against a proposed finance bill that could raise living costs through new and increased taxes. The protests, both offline and online, led to clashes with police. The bill aims to generate more revenue but faces strong opposition due to its potential impact on households and the broader economy. Critics argue that higher taxes could hinder investment and growth, particularly in crucial industries. President William Ruto's government has faced criticism for measures that have exacerbated the cost of living, leading to widespread frustration and demonstrations. The bill's fate is set to be decided by Parliament, where Ruto's alliance holds a majority. The public has mobilized to pressure lawmakers to reject the bill, reflecting widespread discontent across the country.
