Kenyan police fired teargas and water cannons at stone-throwing supporters of opposition leader Raila Odinga during a second week of protests against the government and high food prices, with one person shot dead in the western city of Kisumu. | Reuters
“His body was dumped outside of the hospital,” said the worker, who asked not to be named because he was not authorised to speak to media. Alphonse Wambua, Kisumu County police commander, said he was unaware of anyone who had been shot dead.
In Nairobi’s Mathare slums and in Kisumu, police officers clad in riot gear used tear gas against protesters who were hurling stones at them, footage on Kenyan television station NTV showed. Ruto has accused Odinga of trying to stir up chaos in a country with a history of political and ethnic violence, often around elections. Odinga denies this.
Later on Monday evening, fire was seen burning sections of Kenyatta’s property, according to footage from Citizen TV.
