Around 100 protesters hurled rocks at police in a poor neighbourhood of Nairobi on Wednesday as three days of demonstrations against the cost of living and tax hikes kicked off in Kenya.
Protesters burned tires in the Kibera neighbourhood, often a flashpoint for stand-offs with security forces, and were met with volleys of tear gas by police.
The Nation newspaper reported that police arrested suspected protesters in Homa Bay in the west of the country.earlier this month descended into violence when police fired tear gas, and in some cases live rounds, at the crowds. At least 15 people were killed and hundreds arrested. The government says the fuel and housing levies, which are expected to raise an extra 200 billion shillings a year, are needed to help deal with growing debt repayments and to fund job-creation initiatives.
"It is not too late for Azmio to halt the planned protests and give talks another shot in the wider interest of the country," Non-Governmental Organisation Council of Kenya Chairman Stephen Kipchumba Cheboi said in a statement on Tuesday.
