GSU officers open fire on protestors killing four on spot

[mzeiya]

A demonstration organized by a group of women calling for action over human, and wildlife conflict turned tragic after four people died in Masimba, Kajiado county.

The group of women had staged a demo to express their anger following the death of a teacher who was reportedly killed by an elephant.

They were heading to the KWS offices when they opted to block the Nairobi-Mombasa highway.

In the melee, GSU officers heading to Mombasa in a truck tried to intervene and calm the situation but things went out of control.

Members of the public are said to have joined the demonstration and started hurling stones at the GSU officers who opted to open fire to disperse the crowd.

It is during the push and pulls that three people were shot. Three died on the spot while one succumbed to injuries while being rushed to the hospital.

Seven people are said to have also been injured in the unfortunate incident.

Because .

Since the stones were not aimed upwards, so we're the bullets. Greeks say "mūguì wa ūtukū ūcokagìrio harìa wokìra".

Very unfortunate. Shooting live bullets at a crowd is just unacceptable...........................

Raila went away to be with the system. Kalonzo was just bought today by the same system. Ruto is not known for raising hullabaloo. Who's gonna get angry for the deceased and on behalf of the bereaved?

What do you shoot to people pelting stones at you? Lighting fire on the road?
If they can not demonstrate peacefully, then they deserve live RPGs

I do not support the action by GSU, but the communities living around Kajiado and Narok cause distress to innocent motorists for every wrong by the government, instead of directing their distress to the particular government department/agency..... I have been caught up in their protests and stranded for hours a couple of times for issues that were localized and I had nothing to do with.
Pole kwao, and sadly this might send a message to those that were left behind

This fool should be representing the people and their grievances instead he is only concerned with his own personal welfare and that of his friends
