LIVE: Kenyan Human Rights Commission briefing on Nairobi protests

Kenya's Human Rights Commission will brief the media about the killing of protesters during anti-taxation demonstrations.

Kenyan President William Ruto said security was his ‘utmost priority’ after protests against a bill to raise taxes descended into violence, with police firing on demonstrators trying to storm the legislature, killing at least five.

In chaotic scenes in the capital Nairobi, protesters overwhelmed police and chased them away in an attempt to enter the parliament compound, with Citizen TV later showing damage from inside the building, which had been partially set ablaze.
