What happened Ericksson Kyalo Mutisya?
In a CNN video shared by Larry Madowo, young Kyalo, who was wearing a white overall, had left his butchery job and joined the demos. He was seen dancing among other protesters outside the parliament buildings.
A few moments later, Kyalo lay on the ground, bleeding profusely from his back, and that is how he sadly lost his life.
"CNN filmed as Kenyan security forces shot dead at least three protesters outside the Kenyan parliament on Tuesday," said Larry Madowo.
I saw Ericsson Kyalo Mutisya, 25 dancing in white overalls. Shots rang out shortly after that and I saw his body. He wasn't the only one," he added.

Ruto's remark over shooting infuriates Kenyans
In another story, President William Ruto invited journalists to a live roundtable meeting where he addressed questions about the Finance Bill 2024 and the death of Kennedy Onyango, who was killed.
Ruto was asked what he had to say to the mother of young Onyango from Rongai, who was allegedly shot eight times by the police and lost his life.
Initially, Ruto thought that the boy was still alive, but he was later informed that young Onyango was dead and that made Kenyans angry.
