Kenya opposition leaders demand president's resignation over shooting comments​

GITHUNGURI, Kenya (AP) - Kenya´s opposition leaders demanded the president´s resignation over his call for police to shoot those found stealing or burning property during protests, as mourners on Friday attended the burial of a Kenyan civilian who was shot at close range by a police officer during a recent demonstration.

Opposition figure Kalonzo Musyoka said the president´s order was "against the constitution" and that he should "resign or be impeached."

President William Ruto said on Wednesday that he would not allow "anarchy" in the country disguised as peaceful demonstrations, and called for police to shoot and "break the legs" of those found looting or damaging property during protests.
