Dozens of Kenyans took to the streets on Tuesday in renewed protests against President William Ruto.

The demonstrations follow last month’s anti-tax hike protests, which resulted in deadly violence. The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights reported on Monday that 39 people were killed and 361 injured during two weeks of protests, condemning the police’s use of excessive force.

According to AFP, local politician John Kwenya expressed frustration over businesses closing, despite no immediate threats, calling it “economic sabotage.” Larger crowds were seen marching in Mombasa, with smaller rallies in Kisumu, Nakuru, and Nyeri.

Despite Ruto’s announcement that he would not sign the controversial finance bill into law, activists have continued their campaign against him.
