Five people are nursing injuries at the Nakuru Referral Hospital in Nakuru county after they were injured during the anti-government protests.

Nakuru Referral Hospital Medical Superintendent Dr. James Waweru has confirmed that among the five, four sustained gunshot wounds - 2 were shot in the abdomen, 1  in the chest and another one in the leg.

Dr. Waweru added that the fifth person suffered cut wounds.

Meanwhile, two people sustained gunshot in Migori County where one was shot in the thigh while the other has been shot in the leg.

Running battles between anti-riot police and rowdy protesters have rocked various parts of the country with security officers lobbying teargas canisters to disperse protesters.

Transport services have also been paralysed and minimal business activity has been witnessed in parts of the nation where the protests have been staged.
