Police in Kenya fired tear gas on Tuesday to disperse hundreds of protesters aiming to keep pressure on President William Ruto after he made a series of concessions to demonstrators’ demands.
Activists have called for demonstrations across the East African nation on Tuesday over the government’s failure to prosecute security forces suspected of killing at least 41 people protesting against plans to raise taxes over the past month. Ruto announced last week that a so-called national dialogue would begin on Monday to defuse tensions in the country.
Many demonstrators are demanding that Ruto step down, blaming him for misgovernance, corruption and the deaths of dozens of protesters during earlier anti-government rallies.
