In an unusual turn of events, a group of protesters on Wednesday were recorded singing the national anthem as they mourned one of them who was shot dead during a fracas outside Parliament.
The protesters, visibly emotional, were seen covering the body of the deceased using Kenya's flag as they sang the anthem.
The protesters were among tens of others reported to have been shot as a result of the anti-Finance Bill protests.
On Wednesday Nairobi City County Government said that at least 12 people were killed during Tuesday's anti-Finance Bill demonstrations.
Health CEC Suzzanne Silantoi said in a statement that 12 persons were brought to the City mortuary and Mama Lucy Hospital mortuary.
