During protests against the current taxation law in Kenya, a 24-year-old protester was shot and killed.
The dead is reported to have taken part in a nationwide rally on Thursday night that drew hundreds of protestors to the streets of Nairobi, the nation’s capital.
The contentious law’s parliamentary discussion and vote was the cause of the protest.
The man died from severe blood loss after being shot in the leg by police, according to a family lawyer.

More than twenty minutes passed before the man received any immediate medical assistance.
In a show of support for the deceased, one of the protest organisers invited people to the hospital’s mortuary on Friday in a show of solidarity.
According to Amnesty International, a human rights organisation, at least 200 people were hurt during Thursday’s protests in Nairobi alone.
Many Kenyans worry that their cost of living would increase to an almost unaffordable level as a result of the new tax law.
Due to their diminishing purchasing power, entrepreneurs and business owners frequently worry about suffering large losses.
