Aljazeera reported that Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga has called off anti-government protests scheduled for Monday (03), saying he was ready for negotiations following an appeal from President William Ruto.

Thousands have joined three marches over the past two weeks against high living costs and alleged fraud in last year’s vote. All have been marred by violence, with at least three people killed, 400 wounded and some businesses looted.
