Friday, June 21, 2024 - Tourism Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua has pledged to give Sh1 million to the policeman who was injured while handling a teargas canister during the 'occupy parliament' protests in Nairobi on Tuesday.
In a statement, Mutua said he
will contribute the money together with Narok Governor Ole Ntuntu to help Chief
Inspector David Karuri Maina
The Tourism CS noted that
Maina’s life has changed and he needs to be cushioned during his recovery.
"My friend, Governor Ole
Ntuntu, and I are contributing one million to help the young man whose life has
been ruined, so it can at least cushion him. I hope others will contribute a
little to change his life,” said Mutua.
At the same time, CS Mutua
cautioned Kenyans against being involved in protests that end up in violence,
saying the blood of the maimed officer was on their hands.
“My beautiful young people who
are being driven by propaganda, look at the facts, don’t get involved in
activism and violence that leads to bloodshed. That officer who lost his hands,
his blood is on you,” he added.
Maina was injured after he
opened a teargas canister and delayed releasing it.
The teargas detonated and
severely injured his two arms. Another officer who was near the Maina sustained
minor injuries on her chest.
The two officers were rushed to
Nairobi West Hospital for medical attention.
