A conflict between business protesters and law enforcement officers on Friday led to students from Ndurarua Primary School in Kawangware Estate being caught in the melee. 

As the pupils were attending their morning classes, vendors engaged the police personnel in a scuffle. Allegedly, the traders were up in arms against a resolution by the Nairobi County administration to demolish their stalls which had been set up on sidewalks and pathways. The police found it hard to clear the roads that demonstrators had blocked. To display their displeasure, the protesters burnt tyres and damaged road signs.

The anti-riot police officers lobbed teargas to disperse the traders. Reports indicate that some of the canisters landed in the school, causing panic among the students who scampered for safety. The thick smoke from the canisters made some of the students pass out. In shared footage, residents are seen carrying the pupils to a police car in an attempt to rush them to the hospital. 

They were then taken to various hospitals in Kawangware estate where they received treatment for respiratory issues. The pupils who remained in school were in a steady state and did not require instant medical attention. The demonstration also affected traffic flow on the neighbouring roads connecting to Riruta, Wanye, and other locations in Kiambu County. Law enforcement has yet to disseminate a declaration to clarify the event.

I think Ruto hates primary school kids. Didn't he also gas some a few years back after they resisted an illegal takeover of their sports field?

This Ruto fellow loves presiding over a chemical and biological warfare against school children. You all remember he gassed some some years back?

Samoei ndiye amiri mkuu wa majeshi. Kila jambo linalohusiana na kutumia zana za vita, yeye ndiye huamrisha mambo kama haya yatendeke.
Unakumbuka wakati shamba lake Uhuru liliingiliwa na majambazi na kuiba kondoo na hata kuchoma shamba, askari hawakuja kuwakataza watu kufanya uhalifu kama huo kwa sababu, bila shaka walikatazwa wasije kulinda shamba hilo kwa muda wa masaa karibu 24!
Unataka kuniambia Rigathi na Samoei hawakujua uhalifu uliokuwa ukitendeka katika shamba la Uhuru? Na kama hawakujua kwa muda huo wote, wanafaa kujiuzulu kwa manufaa ya umma.

I wonder what actually happened to magego while he was in primary school. He just hates that whole level of education. Ama ni machapo zile alizopata and he just can't grow out of them.
