New faces of protest - Kenya's Gen Z anti-tax revolutionaries

The hashtags used to pressure MPs and rally protesters were "#OccupyParliament" and "#RejectFinanceBill2024".
“This is my first demonstration. I hope it will be the last. I hope things change after this," said Naserian Kasura, who opposed the proposal to tax sanitary pads.
The protesters' efforts to march to parliament were thwarted as police used water cannon to block them.
"We have been arrested but don’t let them get to you please proceed to parliament," Hanifa Farsafi, reportedly one of the organisers, posted on X, formerly Twitter.
More than 200 young protesters were arrested but some of them were later released after lawyers went to the police stations where they had been detained.
