He was reported to have lost both his arms during the incident.
Another female officer who was in close vicinity with the Chief Inspector was reported to have suffered injuries and was also admitted to the Nairobi West Hospital.
The ‘occupy parliament’ protests had been convened to compel Members of Parliament to shoot down the Finance Bill 2024.
