Violence broke out in Nairobi’s CBD on Monday as police clashed with Gen Z protesters demanding the release of individuals allegedly abducted for sharing controversial social media posts about President William Ruto.
During the unrest, an MP was shot in the thigh. Thanks to the quick actions of nearby protesters, he was swiftly transported to the hospital in critical condition.
As of the latest update, crowds of youth have gathered at the hospital where the MP is being treated, while others continue their protests. The demonstrators are calling for the government to conditionally release those detained for posting photos deemed offensive to the president.
