Heavy security has been deployed to Kenya’s western city of Kisumu ahead of the final public viewing of the body of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, after five people died in the last two public funeral events.

US Vice President JD Vance will visit Kenya from November 24–27, marking the first top-level visit by a President Donald Trump administration official.

The final public viewing event in the western city of Kisumu has been preceded by deaths and injuries on previous days.

According to the report, one in five companies (21 percent) expect to be directly affected by protests or demonstrations over the next one year, the highest rate in sub-Saharan Africa.
