Hundreds of protesters hurled rocks at police today in Nairobi, as the opposition began three days of demonstrations against rising living costs and tax hikes.
Protesters burned tires in the Kibera neighborhood, often a critical place for stand-offs with security forces.
There have been reports of police firing teargas canisters at protesters around Nairobi.
Police have also arrested suspected protesters in Homa Bay in the west of the country.
Schools and shops were closed in the capital and other cities as opposition leader Raila Odinga has vowed three straight days of protests against President William Ruto.
The fresh anti-government protests in Kenya are happening despite the government warning it would not tolerate further unrest after earlier demonstrations turned violent.
National security agencies have deployed all available resources to maintain law and order.
