Uganda House, a building in Nairobi, Kenya, was set on fire on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, during protests against proposed tax hikes. The fire caused extensive damage to the building.
Cause of the Fire: The cause of the fire is still under investigation. However, it is believed to have been started by Kenyan protesters who were angry about the proposed tax increases, which protesters argue will drive up the prices of essential goods, making everyday life more expensive for ordinary citizens.
Government Response: The Ugandan government has condemned the attack on Uganda House and has called for an investigation into the incident. The Kenyan government has also condemned the violence and has pledged to bring those responsible to justice.
