At least seven people were shot dead in Nairobi, Kajiado, and Nyandarua counties as Kenyans across the country marked the 35th anniversary of the July 7, 1990 protests that led to multiparty democracy in the country.
Two of the fatalities are alleged to have been shot by police officers deployed in Kangemi, Nairobi, to prevent protesters from accessing the Central Business District (CBD).
Another person was reported dead in Donholm.
The killings occurred as protesters clashed with police in running battles after officers established roadblocks on various roads around the city to control movement into the CBD.
