Section of Kenyan Parliament on fire as protesters shot » Capital News

NAIROBI, June 25 – A section of Parliament went up in flames on Tuesday after protesters gained entry, forcing police to open fire killing at least four of them.

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.

“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.

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.
