Kenyan officials closed parliament and the presidential office as protests erupted in Nairobi, marking one year since unrest that left at least 60 people dead due to clashes over tax hikes. Rising anger toward police violence, particularly after the recent death of a blogger in custody, prompted thousands to march, with chants against President Ruto. The government fortified streets and buildings, warning against escalating tensions, while demonstrators vowed to honor victims of last year’s protests, reflecting a deep yearning for accountability and reform in governance.
The death of a blogger in police custody earlier this month has further fueled discontent in Kenya, igniting protests marking one year since the deadly unrest.
Chants of "Ruto must go" underscored growing frustration with President William Ruto, who promised economic recovery but faced public anger over police violence.
