Kenyan opposition faces tear gas and arrests during anti-government protests.

Kenyan police used tear gas to disperse opposition leader Raila Odinga and arrested senior lawmakers during protests against President William Ruto and the high cost of living. At least four members of parliament were arrested during protests in Nairobi, including the minority leaders of the National Assembly and Senate. Odinga has called for nationwide protests as he attempts to harness dissatisfaction with the president. Despite Ruto's promises to bring down living costs since taking power in September, inflation has remained high in East Africa's economic powerhouse, rising to 9.2% in February.
