(30 Oct 2017) Police in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, on Monday used tear gas against protesters in the Kawangware area of the city following protests reportedly sparked by a visit by cabinet secretary Fred Matiangi to a local school.
Protesters threw stones at Matiangi's convoy and police responded with tear gas to disperse protesters.
Many in the poor Kawangware area support opposition leader Raila Odinga and have fought police since Thursday's repeat presidential election.
Odinga boycotted the election.
Authorities say they have had to use force to quell riots, looting and attacks on security forces and election workers.
Amnesty International says Kenyan police have used "unlawful force" against opposition supporters and bystanders following the election.
The human rights group on Monday cited cases of "police brutality" as well as violence and intimidation by backers of both Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta.
At least nine people have died in violence since the election.
