Kenya: Police fire tear gas during clashes with protesters in Nairobi over controversial finance bill
The latest demonstration comes after at least 22 people were reportedly killed on Tuesday as protesters stormed the country's parliament.
Protesters return to streets of Nairobi
Police have fired tear gas at dozens of protesters in Kenya's capital and blocked off roads to the presidential palace as crowds took to the streets again nationwide.
The demonstrations took place over a controversial tax hike bill despite the president bowing to pressure to withdraw it.
Police fired tear gas canisters at groups of protesters trying to meet up within the central business district of Nairobi.
Crowds there, as well as in Mombasa, Kisumu and elsewhere, called for leader William Ruto to go further and step down.
At least 22 protesters were reportedly killed on Tuesday after thousands of people stormed the country's national parliament.
And demonstrators still decided to go ahead with a protest march on Thursday.
Mr Ruto on Wednesday withdrew the finance bill, including new taxes, and said he intends to make budget cuts instead.
The match has been lit and a flare of rage set off.
The clouds of tear gas in the heart of Kenya's capital are doing little to disperse young protesters facing off against riot police after days of unrest.
They angrily shout: "Ruto must go." Some throw rocks and glass bottles back at the police while dodging canisters and flash bombs.
We see young men singled out by the officers, beaten with batons and dragged along the street before being thrown into police trucks.
Two of them escape from the back and run off, yelling defiantly and merging back into the small crowds weaving through the tall buildings of Nairobi's central business district.
Many have peeled away from the mass protests after a concession from President William Ruto to withdraw the contentions tax bill they gathered to reject.
But those who are still on the streets are unmoved by Mr Ruto's words and the promises of his government. Outraged by growing corruption and enraged by the killing of protesters in the crackdown.
"They are f***ing killing us," 24-year-old Kelvin yells at an active crossroad.
"We are protesting because they are not listening to us. He (Mr Ruto) could've said what he said before f***ing killing us. As a young nation we have to stand. I won't die on my knees, I'll die on my feet."
