Kenyan President William Ruto has hit the reset button on his government, dismissing almost his entire cabinet in a surprise shake-up.

The decision comes on the heels of nationwide protests against a finance bill that would have led to tax increases.

While announcing the mass dismissal, President Ruto pledged to build a broad-based government and engage directly with his critics.

But will it be enough to quell the anger of protesters?
