00:00At least four people have been killed during nationwide transport protests in Kenya.
00:04The interior minister has confirmed as anger over rising fuel prices paralyzed major cities and exposed deep economic strain.
00:13The unrest erupted on Monday when public transport operators went on strike,
00:18forcing Matachu minibuses off the roads and leaving thousands of commuters stranded.
00:24Protesters blocked highways, lit bonfires on major roads and attempted to out private vehicles and motorbike taxis in several cities
00:34including Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru, Edouret and Nyeri.
00:39The government-linked strike was triggered by sharp fuel price increases including a 23.5% rise in diesel which
00:49authorities say was driven by global oil shocks linked to instability in the Middle East and disruptions in the Strait
00:57of Omos.
