• The protests were sparked by the death of Frederick Odhiambo, known as Papa, who was allegedly shot by police on May 19.
• Frederick Odhiambo was an employee of Busia Woman Representative Catherine Omanyo.
• The demonstrations, initially protesting rising fuel prices, escalated after Odhiambo's death, with the Long Distance Drivers and Conductors Association advising motorists to seek alternative routes due to unsafe conditions.
