Kenya ‘Shaken To The Core’ As Death Toll Reaches 40, Fresh Protests Erupt | Ruto Remains Silent

The largely peaceful protests, primarily led by young Gen-Z activists, escalated into violent confrontations last Tuesday.

The situation deteriorated when lawmakers passed the contentious tax legislation, prompting protesters to storm the parliament complex in Nairobi.

The building was partially set ablaze, and police responded with live ammunition, leading to more casualties and injuries.

President William Ruto, facing his most severe crisis since taking office in September 2022, addressed the nation on Sunday.

He acknowledged the deaths of 19 people but denied any personal responsibility for the violence, pledging to investigate the fatalities.
