STORYLINE:
Tear gas canisters were going off on the streets of Nairobi on Thursday amid a heavy security deployment ahead of planned protests against a controversial finance bill.
At least one woman appeared to be injured.
Footage showed her being assisted as she lay on the ground, rubbing her eyes and then appearing to collapse.
The protests are scheduled to take place despite the president’s decision not to sign off on the bill after the plans sparked deadly chaos in the capital and saw protesters storming and burning part of the parliament building.
Protesters who said last week that they would march to the State House on Thursday say they still do not trust President William Ruto, who has said the tax hikes would be withdrawn and budget cuts would be made.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Wednesday urged the protesters to call off planned protests and give dialogue a chance.
On Tuesday thousands of protesters stormed Kenya’s parliament, burning parts of the building and sending lawmakers fleeing.
