Kenyan police fire tear gas and rubber bullets against protesters in Nairobi

Growing anti-government demonstrations across Kenya as crowds are rallying in another day of protests sparked by a controversial bill that would have raised taxes on essential goods. Police in Nairobi are firing tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse demonstrators. It comes a day after President William Ruto agreed to withdraw the proposals to increase taxes. He's ordered soldiers to quash the protests - but organisers say the move is illegal. They accuse his government of widespread corruption, which has made lives difficult.

Al Jazeera's Zein Basravi is monitoring the protest from Nairobi, Kenya.
