President William Ruto has commended the government security agencies for protecting Kenya and her people during the Tuesday's anti-Finance Bill protest. "I thank our security officers who were on duty today for applying themselves to the best of their abilities, in the defence of Kenya and its people," Ruto said. "As the people of Kenya go to bed tonight, I give you my assurance that your security, that of your families and property, remains my utmost priority." At least three protesters were reportedly shot outside Parliament Buildings as a mob battled police. A police lorry was burnt down outside parliament.
