A protester shouts as he tries to advance towards the police during a demonstration in Nairobi, on June 25, 2024. – Kenyan police fired tear gas at crowds of young protesters in the capital Nairobi on Tuesday, as demonstrators rallied across the country against the government’s proposed tax increases.
The former Diplomat said there is the need for better training for law enforcement in managing protests. “This is not the first country where you have people killed because they are demonstrating in support of their rights. It’s a democracy and they have the right. Keshi noted that “it’s not enough reason to justify what has happened. The police always use that crazy excuse.”
