One person has just been shot at a market near Kibera slum in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, as protests are under way in the city.
The BBC’s Ferdinand Omondi reports that traders are screaming that he is a mechanic, not a protester. They say it’s a police officer who fired at him.
The wounded person has been taken to hospital on a motorcycle.
Opposition leader Raila Odinga draws fanatical support in the area.
It comes amid heavy presence of security officers across the city.
Access to some roads in the city have been restricted to prevent people from gathering.
The opposition has called for planned mass protests against the high cost of living and what they term an illegitimate presidency.
