Anti-government protests have resumed in Kenya with at least one person reported to have been killed.
The Renewed anti-government protests across Kenya on Tuesday are pushing for President William Ruto to step down.
Protesters clashed with police on Tuesday as a wave of protests which started as agitation over proposed tax hikes continue.
President Ruto has responded to several of the concerns of the youth by sacking his cabinet and dropping the text measures.
But activists say they want Ruto to resign, calling for systemic changes to clean up corruption and address poor governance.
The protests are now the biggest crisis of Ruto’s two years in power.
At least 50 people have been killed in the protests to date, the government-funded Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) has said.
The KNCHR has also said that 413 people have been injured, 682 have been arbitrarily detained and 59 have been abducted or are missing in connection with the protests.
Njeri Wa Migwi, an activist who was protesting in downtown Nairobi, told Reuters that the demonstration was peaceful until police started firing tear gas.
“Today feels very insidious. It was like the police were out to get us,” she said.
