The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) has reported that 39 individuals have lost their lives and 361 have been injured following violent protests against the proposed Finance Bill.

In a statement, KNCHR condemned the excessive use of force by law enforcement, highlighting several instances where protesters were allegedly shot with live ammunition and subjected to brutality.

“The loss of life and the number of injuries reported are a tragic testament to the urgent need for de-escalation and dialogue,” said KNCHR Chairperson, Roseline Odede. “We call on the government to address the legitimate grievances of its citizens and ensure that security forces exercise restraint.”

Witnesses in Nairobi described scenes of chaos as tear gas and rubber bullets were deployed to disperse crowds, while in Mombasa and Kisumu, reports emerged of homes and businesses being damaged amidst the unrest.

Meanwhile, the Kenyan government, has defended its actions, claiming that the measures are necessary to maintain order and prevent further disruptions.

Interior Minister Kithure Kindiki emphasized that the protests have led to significant economic losses and posed a threat to public safety.

“We must protect the lives and property of our citizens. While we regret the loss of life, it is imperative to restore calm and ensure that the law is upheld,” Kindiki remarked.

The demonstrations, which erupted nationwide, have been met with a strong response from security forces, leading to widespread concern over human rights abuses and escalating violence.

The Finance Bill, which aims to introduce new taxes and economic measures, has sparked outrage among citizens who fear it will exacerbate the already dire economic conditions. Protests initially began as peaceful marches but quickly turned violent as clashes erupted between demonstrators and police.

Data from @HakiKNCHR 's records indicates that 39 people have died & 361 injured in relation to the protests countrywide.

This is the fourth report that KNCHR is issuing to the public on
the Status of Human Rights in the ensuing protests.
