Stone-throwing demonstrators clashed with police in Kenyan cities on Wednesday (July 19), officers on the scene said, in a second round of protests in less than a week against a raft of tax hikes.
Some of the most intense clashes took place on the expressway linking Nairobi to its international airport.

Police officers patrolling the expressway, who did not give their names, told Reuters they had shot dead two protesters as they sought to repel an advancing crowd.

The government says the tax hikes, which include a doubling of the fuel tax and the introduction of a levy to fund affordable housing, are needed to deal with growing debt repayments and to fund job-creation initiatives.
Protests continue against the rise in cost of living and President William Ruto’s finance bill.
