NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Four people died and over 30 others were injured when police clashed with protesters in Kenya’s capital on Monday as a nationwide public transport strike kicked off to protest record fuel prices.
Interior Minister Kipchumba Murkomen also said 348 people were arrested and would be charged over their involvement in what he called violent illegal protests.
He did not say how the four people were killed, but witnesses told local media that police in Nairobi had opened fire.
