Kenyan Police Use Teargas on Anti-Finance Bill Protesters

The #OccupyParliament protesters want MPs to vote against the Bill, which proposes new taxes and modifications to the existing tax structure. Activist Boniface Mwangi has said that the protest is a grassroots movement against over-taxation, urging Kenyans to show up and make their voices heard.
Security around Parliament was increased after Nairobi police boss Adamson Bungei said the planned demonstrations did not have the necessary permissions.

The protests, organized by activists, were aimed to raise express dissent over the proposed taxation measures in the Finance Bill 2024 which is expected to be tabled in the National Assembly today.
