Israel's judicial overhaul row: Police disperses anti-reform protesters

<p>Several people were reported to have been shot, some possibly fatally, after police and demonstrators clashed in several cities and towns across Kenya, on Wednesday (July 19), amid protests over the new finance law that has sought to raise taxes amid the high cost of living. Meanwhile, Kenyan authorities have arrested over 300 people amid protests, said the interior minister.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Violence in Kenya</strong></h2>

<p>The three-day protests began Wednesday morning as hundreds of protesters hurled rocks and burned tyres on the streets, across Kenya. While&nbsp;the police fired volleys of tear gas in the crowd, witnesses told Reuters.</p>

<p>According to local media reports, several people across the country were injured. This comes after two previous rounds of protests, earlier this month, where the police not only fired tear gas but also live rounds at the crowds. So far, at least 15 people have been killed while hundreds of others have been arrested.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The third round of anti-government demonstrations called for by the opposition leader Raila Odinga comes amid the continued struggle to protest a raft of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/kenyan-police-fire-tear-gas-to-stop-opposition-protests-over-tax-hikes-613122">controversial tax hikes</a> that President William Ruto signed into law.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The government has previously argued that the tax hike would also help create jobs and reduce public borrowing. Meanwhile, Odinga’s Azimio alliance has vowed to stage three straight days of protests this week starting Wednesday evening urging “Kenyans to come out in an even bigger way tomorrow”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The opposition leaders have also called for protests on Thursday and Friday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“This government is violating the constitution by being brutal on us while we are trying to uphold the same constitution through peaceful protests,” a protester in Mombasa who gave only his first name, Eric, told Reuters.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Who all were arrested?</strong></h2>

<p>“More than 300 people have been arrested across the country and will be charged with various crimes, including looting, malicious damage of property, arson, robbery with violence, assaulting law enforcers,” said Interior Minister Kithure Kindiki.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Opposition lawyer, Danstan Omari told Reuters that nine senior opposition figures were detained by the police among whom were two lawmakers and county officials, who were either arrested or abducted during the protests.</p>

France: New Surveillance law to increase police clampdown

<p>Kenyans in multiple cities across the country took to the streets in protest of a new finance law which has sought to raise taxes including doubling the fuel tax as well as introducing a housing levy for employees, reported the local media. This has since reportedly prompted the Kenyan police to fire teargas in a crowd of thousands of opposition protesters, on Friday (July 7) to disperse the protesters in the capital city of Nairobi.</p>

<h2><strong>Protests&nbsp;on Friday</strong></h2>

<p>According to local media reports, the protests that began at around 9:00 am (local time), on Friday called for by the opposition leader Raila Odinga, gained momentum across the country by afternoon,&nbsp;over a raft of controversial tax hikes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Kenyan police also fired tear gas in the capital city of Nairobi to disperse the protesters who had barricaded sections of two roads, reported the Daily Nation newspaper. Additionally, the local media has also reported that shops and businesses were closed in downtown Nairobi, while they were still open in the main central business district.&nbsp;</p>

<p>There was also reportedly a heavy deployment of police in the capital city’s central business district where the main government buildings are located with officers patrolling on foot, in vehicles and on horseback. Additionally, several roads in Nairobi were also closed.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The protests have been dubbed “Saba Saba” (Seven Seven) as it is taking place on the seventh day of the seventh month. Odinga also addressed a crowd of at least 2,000 supporters in an open ground just outside of the main business district in the afternoon.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to the Daily Nation, police also fired tear gas at the Azimio la Umoja leader’s convoy after the party leaders told supporters at Kamukunji Grounds to march to Nairobi’s Central Park. However, some protesters also threw rocks at officers before turning back after the police started firing teargas to stop the crowd, reported Reuters.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tear gas was fired to disperse protesters in the city of Mombasa as people chanted “the struggle is not over,” reported the news agency AFP. Meanwhile, footage aired by&nbsp;KTN News shows motorists taking u-turns and scrambling to get away from the tear-gas-drenched street in Mombasa while protesters fled on foot.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to reports protesters also clashed with the police in Kisii municipality where demonstrators blocked several roads into the area.</p>

<p><strong>Dozens arrested</strong><br />
<br />
According to a coalition of human rights groups said police&nbsp;arrested 17 protesters in&nbsp;Nairobi. In a statement, the&nbsp;group of 10 watchdogs said "We witnessed protesters being dragged on the ground," and called for an investigation into police&nbsp;during the protests. However, the arrests were not immediately confirmed by officials.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What is the new finance bill about?</strong></h2>

<p>In recent weeks, Odinga’s Azimio alliance has repeatedly called for anti-government protests over the impact of the tax increases which have been opposed at a time when people in the country are struggling to buy basic commodities such as maize flour.</p>

<p>“I hope this demo will make a difference,” a 24-year-old manual worker, Alex Dwisa, told AFP. He added, “The cost of living is too high, I don’t have 10k (10,000 Kenyan shillings/$70) to send my two kids to school.”</p>

<p>The Finance Act would impose new taxes or increases on a range of basic goods such as fuel, food as well as mobile money transfers. The bill recently signed into law has also sought to levy additional taxes on Kenyans to fund a housing scheme.</p>

<p>This comes as President William Ruto signed the finance bill into law which is expected to raise an extra 200 billion shillings ($1.42 billion) a year to help the country’s growing debt repayment. Ruto’s government has previously defended the decision to raise taxes and said it would also help create jobs and reduce public borrowing.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Critics have also accused Ruto of backing out on his election campaign promises. “Kenyans elected leaders to parliament and they have betrayed them,” said Odinga on Friday, as quoted by AFP. He added, “Ruto himself who took over power illegally has betrayed Kenyans.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>This also comes as last week, the High Court suspended the implementation of the finance law. However, the incumbent government raised retail prices of petrol anyway, prompting an opposition senator to file a case against the head of the energy sector regulator for contempt and sought imprisonment.&nbsp;</p>
