Most businesses are closed in central Nairobi amid a tense environment.

Riot police have been deployed and roads blocked around key buildings in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, ahead of further protests expected on Thursday.

It comes two days after 22 people reportedly lost their lives in protests against tax hikes, during which part of parliament was set alight and police fired live rounds. But demonstrators say they plan to gather again in the city centre to mourn those killed in earlier protests.Some have vowed to stage a march to the president’s official residence, State House.

Roads leading to the building have been blocked, with officers turning away some motorists and pedestrians.
