Kenyans are reeling in shock and anger after a police officer was caught on video firing at civilians during protests against the Finance Bill. The distressing footage, which has spread rapidly across social media, captures a plain-clothed officer overseeing the arrest of protesters. The scene takes a darker turn as the detainees are loaded onto a police Land Rover and the officer aims and fires what appears to be a tear gas canister at unarmed journalists and civilians documenting the incident.
The impact of the canister plunges the scene into chaos, with screams and panic erupting as the officer casually returns to the vehicle and drives away. This blatant disregard for civilian safety has ignited widespread condemnation. The Kenyan public, shocked by the officer’s actions, is demanding accountability and justice for this egregious abuse of power. The incident underscores the urgent need for reforms in law enforcement and a reaffirmation of the right to peaceful protest and press freedom.
