The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists, and Dentists Union (KMPDU) said their leader, Davji Atellah, got shot by the police during a protest in Nairobi. They didn’t give many details, but they’re really mad about what happened.
In their statement, they said, “We’re really upset about what happened to our leader, Davji Atellah. The police shot him during a peaceful protest with medical interns. We’ve had enough! This is the last straw.”
Photos of their injured leader were shared online earlier, and a lot of doctors and people in Kenya were really angry about it. This incident has raised concerns about the safety of protesters and the need for authorities to handle demonstrations calmly and peacefully.
People are worried about whether it’s safe to protest and if the police are doing their job properly. They’re also talking about the problems doctors and healthcare workers are facing in Kenya, like not getting paid enough and not having the right resources to do their jobs well.
People are hoping the government will take action to make sure this doesn’t happen again and that they’ll listen to the concerns of the KMPDU. They want everyone to be safe when they’re protesting and for the government to fix the problems in the healthcare system.
