The funeral of 19-year-old Ibrahim Kamau took place at a mosque in Nairobi following his tragic shooting during a protest against a now-withdrawn tax bill.
Mourners paid their respects and accompanied the coffin through the streets of Nairobi after the funeral.
The protests resulted in chaos, with reports of several fatalities, as police fired at demonstrators who had stormed the parliament.
Despite the President William Ruto‘s rejection of the unpopular tax legislation, anti-tax protesters gathered again on Thursday, prompting police to use tear gas to disperse the crowds.
The proposed finance bill has encountered strong opposition from the public, particularly younger demonstrators, who continue to distrust the President’s actions.
