NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Police in Kenya’s capital have hurled tear gas to break up anti-tax protesters who have continued to gather despite President William Ruto’s repudiation of unpopular tax legislation that prompted deadly unrest earlier in the week.The finance legislation has drawn fierce resistance from the Kenyan public reeling from higher costs of living, especially from younger protesters who stormed parliament on Tuesday and drew police fire in chaos that left several people dead — reportedly as many as 22. Protesters who continued gather Thursday said they still don’t trust Ruto despite him sending the finance bill back to parliament with a vow to make budget cuts to replace the proposed new taxes
