Kenya prosecutor drops charges against MPs over anti-government protests

with President William Ruto, as long as authorities halted arrests connected to the protests, and addressed his concerns about the rising cost of living and reforms to the electoral system.

Thousands took part in three marches over the past two weeks against soaring prices and alleged fraud in last year's vote. All three turned violent and a fourth march had been planned for Monday., who included the leaders of Odinga's faction in both houses of parliament, were arrested and charged with unlawful assembly in late March, then released on bail.

"We are convinced the issues shall be conclusively handled by Parliament in order to allow us focus on our economic transformation programme," the president added.
