At least five people were reported killed and dozens more injured when police in Nairobi opened fire on protesters at the Kenyan parliament on Tuesday.

Footage shows a fire burning in the street following the violence, as well as injured people being rushed to hospital. According to media reports, police first attempted to use tear gas and water cannons, before deploying live rounds.

The demonstrations erupted over a bill to raise taxes, with protesters reportedly attempting to storm the parliament building. President William Ruto said the debate had been 'hijacked by dangerous people' and called the violent scenes 'treasonous'.
