Emmy Kosgei’s dad & MP abandoned in Parliament breach

Nominated MP Bishop Jackson Kosgei was deserted and left alone as protesters stormed the Parliament buildings and set section of it on fire.

The physically challenged legislator recalled the events of Tuesday, June 25, during the Occupy Parliament protest called over the Finance Bill 2024.

Other politicians were sent scampering for safety, as crowds pushed past barricades and accessed the complex.

At least 5 people were killed and dozens injured as police shot at protestors.

The MP spoke to TV47 where he recounted the day fearing for his safety.

However, this was allayed as the crowd assured him they wouldn’t harm him.

“Well my experience that I had with them is that um although amid expression of anger, they expressed human face because when they came in they said mzee we know you, where you voted, and we know you, we know you as a good man,” he narrated.

In videos available online, the MP is guided outside by a group who ensure he is safe. He remains thankful for this.
