Protests against proposed taxes in Nairobi, Kenya - 18 Jun 2024
A woman runs for safety after the police lobbed teargas canisters to disperse protesters during a demonstration against the Finance Bill 2024 in the streets of Nairobi. The bill proposes several new taxes, including a motor vehicle circulation tax, money transfer tax, eco levy tax, and excise duties on bread and cooking oil. The demonstration dubbed #RejectTheFinanceBill2024 takes place as the bill is being tabled, with protesters urging members of parliament to reject the contentious provisions.
