Kenya’s police chief announced a ban on fresh opposition demonstrations called for Monday, after protests last week degenerated into riots.

Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome told reporters that violent demonstrations will not be allowed.

Last Monday’s demonstrations which were also not authorised by police descended into violence, with riot police firing tear gas and water cannon at people hurling rocks and setting tyres ablaze.
