Kenyan Prosecutor Drops Case Against Opposition MPs Over Protests
A top prosecutor has reportedly dropped charges against four lawmakers over anti-government protests, a day after opposition Azimio La Umoja One Kenya leader, Raila Odinga, suspended the demonstrations.
This comes after Odinga announced he would embark on dialogue with the government after weeks of chaotic street protests.
The four opposition lawmakers, all leaders of Odinga's party in parliament, were arrested and charged with unlawful assembly in late March, then released on bail.
Thousands took part in three marches over the past two weeks against soaring prices and alleged fraud in 2023's vote. All three turned violent and a fourth march had been planned for April 3.
On April 3, Odinga suspended countrywide demonstrations. This is after he accepted President Ruto's proposal for bi-partisan parliamentary process on the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) commissioners' recruitment.
