LONDON, June 25 (Reuters) - Kenya's sovereign dollar
bonds slid on Tuesday afternoon, Tradeweb data showed, amid
rising civil unrest across the country.
The 2034 maturity fell the most, trading 0.6 cents lower at
74.7 cents on the dollar, Tradeweb data showed.
Police opened fire on demonstrators trying to storm the
legislature in Nairobi, with at least five protesters killed,
dozens wounded and sections of the parliament building set
ablaze.
Protesters were demonstrating in opposition to tax rises in
a finance bill that is moving through parliament. While Kenya's
government is trying to shore up its battered finances and make
the country's debt more manageable, citizens are grappling with
rising cost of living.
