 This is what spurred the U-turn protesters storming Kenya's parliament building yesterday over planned tax hikes that could have left millions of already struggling Kenyans all but destitute. They were met with tear gas, water cannons, and live fire from army troops. At least 20 people died. President William Ruto called the protests treasonous, but the Supreme Court today halted his deployment of the army, and now Ruto has killed the bill. The people have spoken.
