| Video Discription | Kenya Protests LIVE: "Ruto Must Go" Chants Erupt as Police Use Tear Gas at Tax Hike Demonstrations #Live..... Hundreds of protesters marched in the Kenyan capital Nairobi on Sunday to honor those who died in anti-government demonstrations this week, as President William Ruto insisted he has "no blood on my hands". Rights groups say at least 30 people died in protests driven by a government drive to substantially raise taxes in the East African country. Largely peaceful rallies turned violent last Tuesday when lawmakers passed the deeply unpopular tax increases following pressure from the International Monetary Fund. Police opened fire on protesters who stormed the parliament complex and a fire broke out. Ruto put the death toll at 19 and promised a full investigation, saying "Any killer cop who went beyond what is provided for in the law will have action taken against them". However, the president also warned that those who had attacked parliament would also be held accountable, saying "Criminals infiltrated and caused mayhem" and "Many of them are on the run but we will catch them". Ruto later announced an about-turn, saying he would "listen to the people" and would not sign the finance bill into law. He acknowledged "We should have communicated better" and said "If I am given a chance to explain to the people of Kenya what the finance bill was all about and what it would have done for them, then every Kenyan would agree with me". The clashes were unprecedented in the history of the country since its independence from Britain in 1963. Protesters gathered in Uhuru Park in central Nairobi following an appeal on media, waving Kenyan flags and chanting "Ruto Must Go" as police used tear gas to disperse the crowd. Ruto also spoke by phone with International Monetary Fund chief Kristalina Georgieva in the days after withdrawing the tax hikes, according to sources. #kenyaprotests #rutomustgo #kenyataxhikes #kenyapolice #kenyademonstrations #africaprotests #africapolitics #teargas #antigovernment #civilunrest #KenyaProtests #RutoMustGo #CivilUnrest #KenyaTaxHikes #KenyaPolice #KenyaDemonstrations #AfricaProtests #AfricaPolitics #Teargas #AntiGovernment Watch related video: https://youtube.com/live/YeQDSI314PQ?feature=share 65XkOxnTgPM |
