Anti-Finance Bill protests in Kenya have spread from the capital Nairobi to various parts of the country, as taxpayers continue to oppose President William Ruto’s plan to finance his Ksh3.9 trillion ($31 billion) Budget.
On Thursday morning, street demos returned to the streets of Nairobi after a 24-hour break, with armed police firing teargas to disperse protesters.
