The business community bore the brunt of Monday’s protests led by the opposition, even as the financial markets remained indifferent to the street action that featured sporadic violence.

Businesses in most parts of Central Nairobi remained shut for the better part of the day as Azimio La Umoja One Kenya supporters engaged the police in running battles in protests that saw at least one person shot and hundreds of others arrested.
