The public's anger erupted over the recommendation of tax increase, the Parliament was set on fire, and a revolt began in the country

Protests in Kenya: There is a lot of opposition to the bill presented in Kenya's parliament regarding tax hike. On Tuesday, a large number of protesters surrounded Kenya's parliament. Meanwhile, a group of protesters set the parliament on fire. The MPs trapped inside at the time of the incident were evacuated safely with the help of fire brigade and other security agencies. Two people have died in this violent protest in Kenya.

Police opened fire on protesters in the capital Nairobi before they set fire to parliament on Tuesday. Thousands of people are taking part in the protests and the country's MPs are demanding a vote against the new tax rules proposed in the controversial finance bill. These protests have been going on for a long time, two people died during the demonstration last week.

A temporary medical camp for the injured

There were no reports of casualties in the protests on Tuesday. Doctors across the country have set up emergency temporary medical camps in several cities to treat those injured during the protests. Kenyans are donating money and materials to these camps.

The price of these items will increase with the new bill

MPs in Kenya voted on a bill proposing a new tax. The new tax also includes an 'eco-levy', which will increase the price of items like sanitary pads and diapers. The proposal to tax 'bread' was dropped after the protests intensified, but protesters are still demanding that the new bill not be passed.

Kenya's Human Rights Commission on Tuesday shared a video of the firing of protesters and said that the officers would be held accountable. The Human Rights Commission posted an 'X' against President William Ruto, saying, 'The world is watching you move towards tyranny, democracy is under attack under your government. All those directly or indirectly involved in firing on protesters must be held accountable.'
