The Kenya Red Cross has confirmed fatalities during the protests against the new Finance Bill in Kenya. The protests, which have been ongoing in response to the bill that includes tax hikes and other financial measures, have resulted in significant unrest. The Kenya Red Cross reported that several people have died during these protests, though exact numbers have varied across different sources.

The new Finance Bill, signed into law by President William Ruto, has sparked widespread criticism and protests led by the opposition coalition, Azimio, which argues that the bill will further burden Kenyans already facing economic hardships. The bill includes measures such as a VAT increase on fuel from 8% to 16% and a controversial payroll levy for a housing program.
