As Kenyan legislators debate the contentious Finance Bill 2024, citizens have gathered outside Parliament in protest.
Demonstrators using the hashtag #OccupyParliament are urging lawmakers to reject the Bill, which introduces new taxes and adjusts the current tax framework. Activist Boniface Mwangi characterized the protest as a grassroots movement against excessive taxation, calling on fellow Kenyans to participate and amplify their concerns.
Security measures around Parliament have been heightened following statements by Nairobi police chief Adamson Bungei, who noted that the planned demonstrations lacked necessary permits.
