Opposition Chief Raila Odinga has called upon the police to immediately release all Azimio la Umoja supporters who were arrested on Monday.
Addressing the media on Tuesday, Raila said that the people arrested were exercising their constitutional rights during the demos.
"The Azimio supporters were innocent and therefore I demand the immediate release of all those who were arrested," he said.
Raila said the people were joining him and Azimio leaders to protest the burning issues in the country yet they were arrested.
More than 200 people were arrested during Monday’s mass protests, police have revealed.
Inspector General of police Japhet Koome said 31 police officers were injured in the chaos.
This happened as police clashed with protesters who turned up following a call to protest the high cost of living among other issues.
“We wish to inform the public that during Monday's demonstrations, we arrested 25 people, while seven officers were injured in Nyanza. In Nairobi, 10 police vehicles were damaged, 24 officers injured while 213 persons arrested were,” Koome said.
