At least 10 people have died in anti-government protests in Kenya, with over 560 arrests reported. Protesters commemorated the July 7 demonstrations, known as 'Saba Saba,' which demanded a transition from a one-party state to a multiparty democracy. Current protests target President William Ruto over alleged corruption, high cost of living, police brutality, and poor governance. In response, police barricaded roads leading into Nairobi and restricted access to the city center, emphasizing public service continuity despite widespread business closures due to the unrest.
