15 FEARED DEAD AS POLICE BREAK DEMONSTRATION IN KENYA OVER TAX HIKES

No fewer than 15 people have been killed and about 12 individuals injured as security forces clashed with demonstrators across the country protesting high costs of living and tax hikes.


The citizens have been demonstrating the protest across the nation since 19th July 2023 which will last through 21st July 2023. However, approximately 300 people have been arrested.


The security operatives have been using volleys of tear gas and water cannons to disperse protestors which has led to the closure of schools in Mombasa and Nairobi.


The information available indicates that the opposition party Azimio la Umoja-One has organized the demonstration to protest the current government.


Ruto the presiding President was elected last August pledging to champion the interests of the poor but prices of basic commodities have risen under his administration and last month his government passed tax hikes.


Meanwhile, the government says the levies on fuel and housing are needed to help deal with growing debt repayments and to fund job-creation initiatives.
