The Kenya protest was one that left an impact on neighbouring African countries.

Lawmakers from other countries are beginning to adjust so they don’t face the same fate as Kenyan lawmakers, who were attacked by angry youths.

At least 39 people were killed and 361 injured in the recent anti-government protests in Kenya.

The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) activists are continuing a new round of protests this week.

The toll, announced on Monday by the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR), is almost double the figure previously disclosed by the government for those killed while demonstrating against a raft of unpopular tax increases that have now been withdrawn.

The Ghanian lawmaker, speaking to his colleagues, warned that they shouldn’t let such a scenario occur in Ghana.

“The Kenyan public is beating up Members of Parliament for passing bad laws. Mr. Speaker, it is a serious matter. I saw colleagues Members of Parliament beaten to a pulp.” He said it on Tuesday, July 3.
