Raila’s vehicle destroyed on street protests

The opposition leader of Kenya, Raila Odinga has been wounded by tear gas and water cannons as well as a gunshot, according to a tweet from his aide.

Uncertain of the exact location of the purported “damage,” Mr. Odinga has been driving a convoy of cars through residential neighborhoods on a day of protest against the poverty that most Kenyans face.

Additionally, he has been using the demonstrations to support his unsupported assertion that he, not William Ruto, was the real winner of last year’s presidential elections.

The protests have disrupted business operations in the capital Nairobi and in Mr Odinga’s stronghold of Kisumu in western Kenya.
