What did the leaders say about the vendor incident shot
Saboti MP Caleb Amisi also issued a statement criticizing a recorded police officer and killing an innocent Kenyan.
Amisi wondered why the officer could arrest the vendor if he felt he was wrong during the violent protest.
“This is a nearby place. You have to arrest the protesters if you believe he is wrong. Why shoot the youth on the road? Kenya needs a resurrection,” Amisi said.
Advocate Cliff Ombeta referred to the tragic incident as a murder case, since the vendor had not angered the officer in any way.
“This is a clear case of murder. There is no aggression. There is no defense. The cause of the murder was created immediately,” Ombeta said.
Gideon K. Moi:
“The shooting of cold blood by an unarmed hand vendor near a police officer during a protest in CBD is sad with the misuse of the surprise police force. The most traumatic is the penetration of peaceful protests by ragtag militants, using boruses and robbing pedestrians and viewers in the afternoon.
This is a violation of the law that takes root under law enforcement. The role of the police is to protect civilians, including protesters who exercise their constitutional rights and not to stand near the invaders who cause terrorism to innocent people. When we condemn these actions, the police officer must be identified, arrested and charged. ”
How the hooligans scared people in CBD
Previously, a group of suspected hooligans raided the Central Business District with a motorcycle while warning against Lagat’s protest.
The men surrounding the arms with weapons shouted that they would not allow any protests to take place in the CBD.
At one point, suspected robbers forced protesters who were protesting peacefully towards the police station at the university of the University Way and led everyone to flee the refuge.
