Kenya’s opposition leader Raila Odinga called for nationwide civil disobedience in an effort to reverse recent tax increases agreed by parliament while addressing his supporters in the capital, Nairobi.
Mr Odinga called for a revival of mass protests against President William Ruto’s government.
This comes a few days after President Ruto signed the controversial tax measures into law after it was passed by MPs last week.
The new law raises the value-added tax on fuel products from 8% to 16%.
It also introduces a 1.5% housing levy on employees’ basic pay, which will be charged to both the employer and the employee. The money is supposed to go to a fund to construct homes for the less well-off.
