Protests began in June over a controversial tax bill and have escalated into broader anti-government demonstrations.
More than 50 people have died since the protests started, with accusations of police brutality and excessive force.
President Ruto dismissed most of his cabinet and included opposition members, but protesters view this as insufficient.
