In Kenya, demonstrators on the streets of Nairobi are showing their frustration ahead of August general elections. People are unhappy about rising prices, stagnating wages and a large national debt. Politicians are using this campaign season to promise to fix the economy. But many voters are not convinced, saying they are disillusioned and do not trust their leaders. Economists say a new government will find it hard to lessen the burden for most people.

The man who has tried, and failed, to become Kenya’s president four times, is running for office again. This time though, Raila Odinga has the backing of the political establishment, which has worked against him in the past. Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has endorsed his former archrival for the country’s top job, weeks after their parties joined forces ahead of presidential and parliamentary elections in August.
