The latest demonstration comes after at least 22 people were reportedly killed on Tuesday as protestors stormed the country's parliament.

There is heavy security in Nairobi, amid protests of escalating violence against a controversial bill. Thousands of people have taken to the streets of the Kenyan capital despite the president's decision not to sign the finance bill. At least 22 protestors were reportedly killed on Tuesday after angry crowds stormed the country's national parliament. And demonstrators still decided to go ahead with a protest march on Thursday.

One protestor, Boniface Mwangi, urged protestors to march peacefully as a mark of respect for those who have died. 'Invasion of the State House isn't a solution,' he wrote in a post on X. But activists warn the stakes are higher than ever as Mr Ruto has committed to quashing unrest 'at whatever cost'. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke to Mr Ruto on Wednesday. He thanked the president for taking steps to reduce tensions in the country.
