At least 4 protesters shot dead outside Kenyan Parliament » Capital News

NAIROBI, Kenya June 25 – At least 4 protesters were shot dead as police struggled to disperse rioters who had stormed Parliament.

Several others sustained serious bullet wounds during the violent chaotic scenes characterised by live bullets and teargas moments after Members of Parliament passed a controversial Finance Bill that seeks to raise taxes.

“I have seen four bodies of the protesters who were shot dead,” our Reporter said, “they are lying in a pool of blood outside Parliament.”

Our crew covering the protests mainly by the youth counted more than 10 people rushed to hospital by Ambulances even as more remained on the ground writhing in pain.

“People have been shot, it is very bad,” one protester yelled, running away from a thick cloud of teargas.

A section of Parliament was also set ablaze as was a truck parked just outside the fence.

“We have never seen this before, God save Kenya,” an elderly man said running and screaming.
