Dozens of Kenyans took to the streets Tuesday under a heavy police presence, with many shops shuttered as youth activists called for fresh protests after anti-tax hike demonstrations last month descended into deadly violence.
Activists have stepped up their campaign against President William Ruto despite his announcement last week that he would not sign into law a controversial finance bill that triggered what he has branded “treasonous” protests.
The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) said on Monday that 39 people had been killed and 361 injured during two weeks of demonstrations and condemned the use of force against protesters as “excessive and disproportionate”.
On Tuesday morning, the capital Nairobi’s central business district — the focus of previous rallies — was quiet, with police patrolling and few people on the streets.

Germany football legend, Didi Hamann, has called Cristiano Ronaldo “embarrassing” after the Portugal captain cried following his penalty miss against Slovenia.

Hamann, speaking on RTE, said: “Thirty-nine-year-old plays 120 minutes, he misses a penalty and I’ve got to say, I bought into all that ‘Ronaldo has turned into a team player because he needs the team more than he used to’.
