The Kenyan constitution, along with the international treaties that the country has ratified and domesticated, safeguards the right to protest.
However, a concerning incident arose when Kenyan citizens united in significant numbers to advocate for a decrease in the cost of living and tax reductions. 
Tragically, law enforcement personnel responded with excessive force, resulting in injuries and fatalities among the protestors.
The Kenyan government must take immediate action to address these grievous abuses of power. 
A thorough and impartial investigation should be conducted to identify those responsible for the violent incidents. 
Those found guilty of misconduct must be held accountable through the appropriate legal channels.
