Nairobi city roads are experiencing less traffic as a fresh round of three days of anti-government protests called by the Azimio Coalition starts today.

Shops remained closed and there is heavy security patrols across the city as well as other towns of Kisumu, Nakuru, Mombasa, Kisii among other areas even after the government outlawed the protests called by Azimio Coalition leader Raila Odinga, the third to occur this month.

Odinga has called for more protests from today, Thursday and Friday against the high cost of living occasioned by the Finance Act signed by President William Ruto.
