Businesses in Nairobi and other major cities across the country are on Thursday bracing for another day of losses after opposition leader Raila Odinga vowed not to back down on anti-government protests.

The demonstrations, which are entering the third day this Thursday since they started on Monday last week, are becoming costly for enterprises that have to close down while those left open have to deal with the risks of looters and vandalism from some protestors.
