Kenya is braced for the latest in a series of opposition protests against the rising cost of living and tax hikes, which have turned violent, with at least 24 people killed in recent months.<\/p>\n

The opposition Azimio La Umoja One coalition announced earlier that they would hold protests on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday ‘due to public demand’<\/p>\n

The revision of the anti-government demonstration comes after a five-day break by the coalition to mourn those who lost their lives in Wednesday\u2019s protests.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s protests come as opposition leader Raila Odinga vows to continue peaceful nationwide protests until President William Ruto\u2019s government listens to the grievances of Kenyans.<\/p>\n
