Wednesday, June 26, 2024 -The Kenyan Parliament came under siege on Tuesday after a group of anti-tax demonstrators overpowered police officers and gained access to the House, moments after MPs passed the highly contested Finance Bill 2024.
The protesters, who had been
battling police and chanting anti-government slogans in the streets of Nairobi
since morning, gained access to the highly fortified Parliament Buildings via
Uhuru Highway.
The MPs escaped to Bunge Towers
through an underground channel as the anti-tax protesters breached the Parliament
Building.
A female MP was captured on camera
crying like a baby after she was cornered by some of the protesters and her car
pelted with stones.
“I have never seen something like
this,” the shaken MP said as her security whisked her to safety.
She was evacuated in an ambulance.

A video shows an MP running out of the National Assembly like a headless chicken. When we warned them 'they will not believe,' they thought it was a joke. pic.twitter.com/Fzr4BcX1Mf
