Kenyan Court Suspends Police Ban On Protests In Nairobi

548

A Kenyan High Court on Thursday suspended a police ban on protests in the capital, Nairobi, as Kenya’s protests continue.

The police had barred protests in Nairobi indefinitely for lack of leadership and coordination, but the court stated that citizens have a right to demonstrate peacefully.

Acting police inspector general Douglas Kanja said the lack of leadership had “made it difficult to enforce safety protocols.”

The protest, which has been going on for about a month, was triggered by a finance bill to increase taxes. Initially, the protesters, mostly youths, demanded a rejection of the bill, but their demands now include the resignation of President William Ruto.

The protest is fueled by the government’s violent attempt to repress the protesters. According to the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, over 50 persons have died.

Last week, the president dismissed almost his entire cabinet while the former attorney general resigned, as protesters demanded, accusing ministers of incompetence, corruption, and display of opulence.
