The Azimio coalition has claimed that its chairman, Wycliffe Oparanya, has been arrested in connection with Wednesday’s demonstrations.

Eugene Wamalwa, the leader of the Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP-K), made the announcement at a press conference at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Foundation.

Wamalwa said that Oparanya was being held in Kakamega by police.

Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki had earlier issued a statement saying that the government would not tolerate any violence or destruction of property during the protests.

Kindiki said that the government had mobilized all law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute those responsible for the violence.

Oparanya has denied any involvement in the violence, and he has accused the police of shooting at his car in Busia on Wednesday.

He said that he was on his way to Funyula MP Wiberforce Mundenyo’s house for a cup of tea when the police opened fire on his car.

The police have not yet commented on Oparanya’s allegations.

The demonstrations on Wednesday were organized by the Azimio coalition to protest the high cost of living and other economic woes.

The protests turned violent in some parts of the country, and there were reports of looting and destruction of property.

The government has said that it will not tolerate any violence or destruction of property, and it has vowed to bring those responsible to justice.

The demonstrations have highlighted the growing anger among Kenyans over the high cost of living.

The government has been under pressure to address the issue, but it has so far been unable to do so.

It remains to be seen how the government will respond to the demonstrations, and whether it will be able to address the concerns of Kenyans.
