#Kenya #Africa #BBCNews
Demonstrators in Kenya are gathering in towns and cities to protest against a finance bill that would raise taxes.

Public outcry has already forced the government to withdraw some of contentious provisions, including a 16% tax on bread and an annual 2.5% tax on vehicles.

But protesters say this is not enough and have demanded that legislators, who are currently debating the bill in parliament, to reject the entire bill.
