Video. WATCH: Nationwide protests in Kenya over controversial tax proposals

Updated:

Thousands of young Kenyans took to the streets of Nairobi and other cities on Tuesday to protest against new tax proposals in the government's annual budget.

The protests halted Nairobi's central business district as riot police used tear gas and water cannons on demonstrators near parliament. Protesters are urging lawmakers to reject the legislation, which includes a 2.75% income levy for national medical insurance and increased taxes on vegetable oil and fuel.
