STORYLINE:
Riot police were out in Nairobi on Wednesday, as protests continued against the rise in cost of living and President William Ruto’s finance bill.
Last week, Christian and Muslim leaders in Kenya urged Ruto to repeal a finance bill in which new taxes have sparked protests and police killings of civilians, warning that Kenyans face a level of hopelessness that “can easily inspire insurrection.”
Pressure is rising on Ruto, who won election by appealing to Kenya’s “hustlers” as a man of humble childhood and by vowing to reduce the cost of living.
But the country struggles with debt and has turned to the new taxes for some relief.
