The opposition has announced that it will resume anti-government protests against the high cost of living on Wednesday.

Speaking during a press conference at the SKM Command Centre on Saturday, Azimio leaders said the protests will be peaceful.

Usawa Kwa Wote Party leader Mwangi wa Iria said the opposition is unwilling to engage the Kenya Kwanza government, adding that atrocities had been meted out on some citizens.

"Our peaceful demos will continue next Wednesday and we will notify all OCSs in the country," he said.

Further, Wa Iria condemned police attacks on civilians, targeted in certain areas.
