Police fire tear gas at opponent Odinga's convoy during demonstrations in Nairobi

Description

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.
