What you need to know:

  • The hospital told Nation that many of the injured were from daytime protests in the Nairobi CBD. However, at night, there was an influx of patients from Githurai. 

The Kenya National Hospital on Wednesday reported an influx of 165 patients needing treatment due to injuries sustained while demonstrating against the controversial Finance Bill. 

The demonstrations, which erupted across 35 counties on Tuesday, started off peacefully but ended in violence as Kenyans took to the streets to voice their dissent against the proposed tax law.
