Four people killed in fuel prices protest, 30 injured

Tonight, we begin with nationwide transport paralysis occasioned by unprecedented protests over the sharp rise in fuel prices. The government says four people lost their lives during the demonstrations across the country, while 30 others were injured during the protests recorded in 29 counties. Unofficial records, however, indicate that six people were killed during the protests, most of them from gunshot wounds. It was a day marked by arrests, looting, arson, and widespread destruction. Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has described the demonstrations as politically instigated. 348 people were arrested and expected to face economic sabotage charges.
