Hundreds marched in Nairobi on June 30 to honor those killed in recent anti-government protests. At least 30 people died, according to rights groups, during demonstrations against President William Ruto’s proposed tax increases. Initially resisting, Ruto reversed his stance, promising not to sign the finance bill. He acknowledged 19 deaths and pledged a full investigation, insisting he has “no blood on my hands.” Protests turned violent after lawmakers approved the tax hikes under IMF pressure. Police opened fire on protesters, leading to a fire at the parliament complex.
