Azimio has accused Interior CS Kithure Kindiki of suppressing information on the actual number of people who died during last week's three days of protests. The opposition outfit claimed police used live ammunition on protesters resulting in dozens of deaths but Kindiki issued a directive against the release of data on the fatalities. "We know it was the wish of the Interior CS that the injured don’t get help and the dead don’t get acknowledged by hospitals and government agencies. That order remains in place as we speak, which is why getting an accurate and complete figure of the dead is difficult," Azimio said in a statement. Azimio said the vigils, prayers and the laying of flowers will continue on Thursday and throughout the weekend.
