Following a gathering of protesters at a rally organised by opposition leader Raila Odinga, police in full riot gear have been deployed in the streets of Nairobi to disperse them, firing teargas into the crowd. Odinga's Azimio alliance called for anti-government protests over the impact of the new taxes on Kenyans already suffering from a severe cost-of-living crisis. IMAGES
Tear gas and water cannon are fired as opposition leader Raila Odinga's convoy moves through Kawangware, a congested slum of the capital, Nairobi, sending people scattering, with police also firing canisters at cars carrying journalists. Odinga had called for protests every Monday and Thursday against the government of President William Ruto, who he claims stole last year's election, and is failing to address the high cost of living.
