Three male protesters in Kisumu showed up for the Azimio anti-government demos putting on pink towels only.

The men who were bare-chested were carrying the Kenyan flag and placards that had different messages against the high cost of living.

One placard reads "The Kenya Finance Bill 2023 is an unfair and regressive legislation that favours the wealthy and corporations at the expense of working-class and poor majority."

One of the protesters Victor alias 'towel man' said they are tired of the high cost of living and that something needs to be done to address the matter.

At the main bus terminus, some of the youths were busy playing football as the police watched closely.

The act, is among the many other stunts pulled by Azimio supporters during past demos.

Last week a female protester showed up for Saba Saba protests donning white underwear.

This stunned many with some protesters surrounding her to get a glimpse of what was written on the underwear.

The unknown woman said that Kenyans are tired of everything that was happening in the country, including the high cost of living and the introduction of new taxes.

The white underwear was inscribed both in front and behind.

At the front part, the message read 'Fungua server' while the backside read 'Ruto and Gachagua tokeni State House.'
