Public protests in Nairobi and other major cities in Kenya are exposing the pain of rising fuel costs, which authorities blame on supply shocks caused by the war in the Middle East.
On Monday, major roads in Nairobi and other cities were blocked as protesters, mainly from the transport and logistics sector, took to the streets to oppose the latest price increases. Businesses, schools and public offices were largely shut after organisations advised clients to stay at home to avoid being caught up in the unrest.
