civil society groups

In Nairobi, Kenya, tensions escalate in the Kenyan capital as over 200 protesters have been arrested during ongoing demonstrations against proposed tax hikes in a finance bill set to be presented in parliament. The protests, which began earlier this week, have seen significant participation from civil society groups and concerned citizens, who argue that the tax increases will disproportionately affect the country's most vulnerable populations.

The demonstrations, centered in Nairobi, have been marked by clashes between protesters and police. On multiple occasions, security forces have fired tear gas. . .
