An activist dressed in a religious ceremonial dress runs as mock coffins burn outside the Kenyan parliament during a protest dubbed "State Burial-Ballot Revolution", a demonstration against legislators' plan to receive higher bonuses, in the capital Nairobi on January 16. Demonstrators carried 221 coffins for a mock state funeral of Kenyan legislators, protesting over a move by members of parliament to triple their end of term bonuses and award themselves diplomatic passports, bodyguards for life and state funeral, which Kenya's president rejected.
