Protesters last week forced William Ruto to scrap planned tax rises, saying public money was being wasted.

Kenya's President William Ruto has ordered a review of plans to raise the salaries of members of the cabinet and parliament following a public outcry.

The pay increase of between 2% and 5% for all state officials, covering judges as well, was recommended by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission .

Last week's protests, led by young people, were the biggest in Kenya since Mr Ruto took office in 2022.
