Kenya’s President William Ruto has said he will withdraw a finance bill containing controversial tax hikes after deadly protests which saw parliament set on fire.

At least 22 people were killed, according to the state-funded Kenya National Commission on Human Rights.

In an address to the nation, President Ruto said it was clear that Kenyans "want nothing" to do with the bill.

Protesters said the bill would impose unaffordable tax rises on ordinary citizens and businesses already weighed down by the high cost of living.

Mr Ruto said he would now speak with the young people, who were at the forefront of the biggest protests to hit the country since he was elected in 2022.

Minneapolis Police Officer Jamal Mitchell is a hero.

Yesterday, the Minneapolis Police Department lost Jamal, one of its finest, in the line of duty.

Jamal was born February 12, 1988. He was a fiancé, a father and a son. He made the ultimate sacrifice protecting his city and community. His selfless actions will not be forgotten.

“Officer Jamal Mitchell, a hero, took his oath to the people of Minneapolis seriously—so seriously he sacrificed his life. When others run away from danger, police officers run towards it. Jamal literally went into a burning building on his third day as a police officer to save an elderly couple. That’s the kind of man he was,” said Minneapolis Chief of Police Brian O’Hara.

“We mourn his death. We grieve for his family. We must never forget, above all, Jamal Mitchell is a hero.”
