Military on patrol in Kenya's capital amid scattered protests
Kenyan military officers have been deployed to man various parts of the capital Kenya amid ongoing protests in the country.
The East African country has witnessed a series of protests in recent times. The demonstrations began with calls for legislators to vote against a controversial finance bill introduced under the William Ruto government.
The bill, according to them, would have further exacerbated the suffering of Kenyan citizens. Following this, the president withdrew the controversial taxes.
Other protests were in demand for the resignation of the president despite his sack of the majority of his cabinet.
The military personnel are assisting police who have been clashing with protestors, mostly using tear gas. Hundreds took to the streets across Kenyan towns in defiance of a police ban that stopped protestors from embarking on the same, AFP reports.
