Government set to Issue Statement Addressing Kenyan Protests Today.

Today, the government will issue a statement outlining measures to address potential repercussions of protests in Kenya, which were sparked by opposition leader Raila Odinga's call for action against the high cost of living.

The protests left a student dead, 200 people arrested and over 30 police officers injured.

Busia Municipality MP Geoffrey Macho brought up a topic of national significance during the plenary session on Wednesday, stating that the increased presence of security forces at the Uganda-Kenya border due to the ongoing protests has adversely impacted trade and the livelihoods of the local border communities.

Bukooli central MP Solomon Silwany also revealed that the strike in Kenya has affected residents of Bugiri district as well with Ugandan goods not allowed into Kenya.

David Bahati, who holds the position of state minister for trade, stated that a detailed announcement would be released later today.

On Monday, a group of Kenyans, led by opposition leader Raila Odinga, participated in a street demonstration to express their discontent with the high cost of living in the country.
