Kenyan President William Ruto deployed the military to end “treasonous” nationwide anti-government protests that left a least five people dead and scores injured.
The demonstrations were sparked by taxes being introduced by Ruto’s administration to generate an additional 302 billion shillings ($2.3 billion) in the budget year that begins on July 1. Protesters are demanding that lawmakers — who endorsed the bill on Tuesday after dropping some of the more contentious levies such as a 16% tax on bread — to scrap the entire plan.
The government proposed the new taxes to improve state finances, address its high debt ratio and access more International Monetary Fund financing.
