According to the Kenya Medical Association, there have been at least five fatalities and thirty-one injuries.
Photographs taken at the scene seemed to show several bodies on the ground, all of them still.
Earlier, paramedics on the site stated they thought at least ten people had died and about fifty had been injured.
When demonstrators in Nairobi overran police and infiltrated the parliament compound, it happened as police opened fire.
On Tuesday, thousands of people flocked to the capital’s streets to urge lawmakers to reject the extra levies.
There were fires, tear gas cannons, and broken tables and chairs captured on camera outside the parliament.
There was additional disturbance reported in other towns and cities, and the governor of Nairobi’s office was set on fire.
Kenya’s army has been called into action in response to a “security emergency,” as the minister of defense put it.
William Ruto, the president of the nation, called the demonstrations “treasonous” and claimed that “dangerous people” had “hijacked” the discussion of the new law.
He declared that such acts of violence would not occur “at any cost.”
At this point, Mr. Ruto must approve the measure; if he has any reservations, he may choose to bring it back to parliament.
