"Demonstrators in Nairobi blocked a road leading to parliament, where the national budget was scheduled to be presented. They demanded Lagat's resignation."
"Ruto described Ojwang's death as 'heartbreaking and unacceptable' and condemned any negligence or criminality that contributed to his untimely death."
Protests erupted in Nairobi after the death of blogger Albert Ojwang in police custody, leading to violence as demonstrators blocked roads and set vehicles on fire.

An autopsy revealed injuries consistent with assault, contradicting police claims of accidental injury. Activists and Amnesty International question the police narrative around his death.
