Tens of thousands of protesters are calling for an end to what they say is corruption and mismanagement.
Kenya is once again on the brink of the abyss.
Protests against a finance bill have become a nationwide movement, challenging the very foundations of President William Ruto's government.
Young people are leading the fight: they are demanding lower taxes, an end to corruption and a government that listens.
But as the protests have intensified, so has the response: dozens of activists and protesters have been killed and others have simply disappeared.
Can President Ruto quell this rising tide of dissent?
Or is Kenya on the verge of a major political change?
