Residents of Nairobi, Kisuma and other cities are being urged to bang pots and pans in protest against the high cost of living in the country, and what opposition leader Raila Odinga describes as an illegitimate government.

Meanwhile, the United Nations human rights office (OHCHR) said it’s very concerned over reports of police in Kenya using excessive force to quell protests which have left dozens dead and injured, UN Newsreports.

The demonstrations began over what many Kenyans view as unfair tax hikes and rising inflation in the country, according to news reports.

OHCHR Spokesperson Jeremy Laurance issued a statement condemning the violence, expressing concern over “allegations of unnecessary or disproportionate use of force, including the use of firearms, by police”.

Reports estimate the number of people killed to be as high as 23, with dozens more being injured during the demonstrations.
