The family of Boniface Kariuki, the hawker who was shot in the head by a rogue officer during anti-police brutality protests in Nairobi, has confirmed that he is brain dead.

Speaking to the press on Sunday, family spokesperson Emily Wanjira said that medics at the Kenyatta National Hospital confirmed that Mwangi’s organs are still functioning but his brain is dead.

“Mwangi is confirmed brain dead. We know what it means. We are just waiting for the doctor to tell us he is no more,” she said.

The family added that there are more bullet fragments in his brain that have not yet been extracted.

Kariuki has undergone two surgeries at Kenyatta National Hospital to remove the bullet lodged in his head and has been recuperating at the Intensive Care Unit where he is receiving round-the-clock supervision.

During a past briefing, Kariuki’s father Jonah Kariuki revealed that the hospital bill had hit Ksh.1 million and was continuing to rise daily.

The aggrieved family also called for the judicial system to dispense justice by convicting and sentencing the police officers responsible for the crime.
