KENYAN President William Ruto has come under domestic fire from two sides as he struggled to keep a lid on growing protests against government policies.

Two people were reportedly shot dead in the central town of Nanyuki on Monday amid protests against plans to establish a US Ebola isolation centre at a nearby military base, according to the BBC.

The circumstances of the deaths are unclear and officials have not commented, although a police spokesman told the Reuters news agency that he was not aware of any deaths.
