One person was killed and 22 others – including four schoolchildren– injured when police and Opposition protesters clashed in Kisumu and Homa Bay.

The protests resumed after the closure of a dialogue window declared by CORD leader Raila Odinga two weeks ago. The 10-day window period was marked by hardened positions by the two rival coalitions, dashing any hopes of a political deal. President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto have maintained their position that any discussion on the electoral agency must be within the law.
