Kenya Protest Live Updates: In chaotic scenes, protesters overwhelmed police and attempted to enter the parliament compound as lawmakers passed a legislation to raise taxes.
At least least five killed and dozens wounded after police opened fire on hundreds of demonstrators attempting to storm Kenya's legislature on Tuesday. In chaotic scenes, protesters overwhelmed police and attempted to enter the parliament compound as lawmakers passed a legislation to raise taxes. Sections of the parliament building were also set ablaze by the demonstrators. Tear gas and water cannons failed to disperse the crowds, prompting police to use live ammunition.
What led to the protests: The incident occurred as parliament approved the finance bill, which now moves to a third reading before potentially being sent to the president for signing. The finance bill aims to raise an additional $2.7 billion in taxes to manage Kenya's heavy debt load, with interest payments consuming 37% of annual revenue.
