Tension is rising in Kenya after a new wave of anti-government protests against alleged government corruption and police brutality.

Dozens have been killed and many have condemned the words of President William Ruto, who’s said that protesters targeting businesses should be shot in the legs.

Anita Nkonge, a BBC reporter in Nairobi, explains what has been happening; plus we hear from young Kenyans who have attended the protests.
