Hundreds of demonstrators torched 221 coffins outside Kenya's parliament on Wednesday in protest against legislators who voted last week to triple their end-of-term bonuses and award themselves state funerals. They highlighted their anger over a political class in East Africa's largest economy widely regarded as greedy and corrupt.
They staged a macabre procession, wailing and singing as they hoisted coffins made of plywood and tarred in black paint, representing Kenyan lawmakers. Dressed in black T-shirts, protesters waved placards with hand-written slogans including ``bury the vulture with your vote’’ and ``vacancy for honest leaders’’. How proactive i wish we could do that in Nigeria, no one was injured or killed if it was Nigeria the story would have been different , see Occupy Nigeria we had casualties.
