A 21-year-old man died in hospital after sustaining injuries during demonstrations staged by Kenyan youth protesting against the Finance Bill 2024.

Evans Kiratu was transferred to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) by a Good Samaritan while in critical condition after suffering internal bleeding.

On Saturday, Kiratu’s family positively identified his body at KNH morgue and confirmed that a teargas canister hit their kin’s private parts.

“We learnt about this news last night by a Good Samaritan and he said he picked him from the road. He said he was hit by a teargas canister on his private parts and could not do anything,” Rachel Waithanje, Kiratu’s aunt, said.

The samaritan brought him to KNH and before we could arrive he had passed on. We demand for justice for my nephew.”

Videos circulating online showed Kiratu confronting a police officer near Nyayo Stadium area whom he alleged had attacked him.

He lashed out at the police officer claiming that he was left by two wives owing to the tough economic conditions.

Kiratu fell to the floor, claiming that the officer had kicked him in the groin.

Kenyans have since called on the officer to surrender himself and face murder charges over the incident.
