Nairobi, Jun 26 (AP) Kenyan President William Ruto says he won't sign into law a finance bill proposing new taxes a day after protesters stormed parliament and several people were shot dead.

The government wanted to raise funds to pay off debt. Kenyans said the bill caused economic pain as millions struggle to get by. The chaos on Tuesday led Kenya's government to deploy the military, and Ruto called protesters' actions “treasonous.” It was the biggest assault on Kenya's government in decades.
