Stone-throwing protesters have clashed with police in Kenyan cities during a second round of demonstrations within a week, which the main opposition leader called against a raft of tax hikes.
Police officers fired tear gas on Wednesday to disperse protesters in Nairobi, the port city of Mombasa and several other cities, according to footage aired on Kenyan television.
Opposition leader Raila Odinga called for the demonstrations.
He blames President William Rutto for the rising cost of living.
