At least 200 protesters were reported injured during Tuesday’s anti-tax demos in Nairobi. 

Also, there were reported deaths of about 10 individuals around Parliament when protesters breached the building’s security and stormed the National Assembly.

Dear Mr President, Years of corruption and deceit have united Kenyans in anger and disappointment. We demand change – in your cabinet, into the laws, and in your perception of the Kenyan people. Don’t give people more reasons to protest against a leadership that has left them feeling unsafe and disillusioned. People have sacrificed their lives for this country; you cannot shoot your way out of this crisis. Be a leader, not a bystander, watching your country go up in flames”
