STORYLINE:
Anti-tax protesters blocked roads and burnt tyres on Monday in Kenya’s capital Nairobi after unpopular tax legislation triggered a deadly unrest earlier last week.
The finance legislation has drawn fierce resistance from a Kenyan public reeling from higher costs of living, especially from younger protesters.
Protesters stormed parliament last Tuesday and drew police fire in chaos that left more than 20 people dead.
Protesters said they don’t trust President William Ruto’s government despite him sending the finance bill back to parliament with a vow to make budget cuts to replace the proposed new taxes and fees on a range of items and services, from egg imports to bank transfers.
