In Kenya today, thousands of people took to the streets to reject a finance bill underway in parliament. The bill proposes new taxes that Kenyans say will hurt them economically. This comes amid rising unemployment and a biting economy. Behind the demonstrations are Gen-Z members who are organizing on social media platforms like TikTok and X. Today, the demonstrations turned deadly as people occupied the parliament building and set it on fire. The World's Africa Correspondent Halima Gikandi reports from Nairobi.
