Kenya's Opposition Leader Calls for Protests

by VOA News

   Nairobi and other Kenyan cities are bracing Monday for a fresh round of
   anti-government protests about the high cost of living under President
   William Ruto's government.

   Police banned the demonstrations Sunday, but Odinga encouraged Kenyans
   to attend the protests anyway.

   One person was killed in the protests last Monday in Nairobi, the
   capital, and dozens of police were injured in confrontations with the
   demonstrators.

   Kenya Railways issued a statement Sunday saying, "that due to
   unavoidable circumstances, commuter train services scheduled for
   tomorrow . . . have been suspended."

   Odinga has urged Kenyans to take to the streets every Monday and
   Thursday to protest.

   Some information for this story came from Agence France-Presse and
   Reuters.
