Kenya’s police chief resigns amid deadly anti-tax protests
Kenya’s police chief Japhet Koome has resigned, following weeks of violent protests against proposed tax hikes in which more than 40 people died.
Human rights groups have accused police of shooting dozens of protestors, some of them fatally, and abducting or arbitrarily arresting hundreds more.
The resignation comes a day after President William Ruto sacked most of his cabinet, following pressure from the protest movement which is largely coordinated online by young Kenyans.
Two weeks ago protesters stormed parliament shortly after legislators passed the controversial finance bill.
President Ruto later withdrew the bill but that failed to quell the protesters, who want him to step down and are planning more protests to demand further reforms.
Deputy police chief Douglas Kanja takes over running the force with immediate effect, the Kenyan presidency said.
