Aftermath pictures and videos have shown a severe destruction that was done after the protesters accessed Parliament. The protesters gained access from Senate chambers before feasting on parliament cafeteria.
However, reports indicate that several protesters were also shot dead a moment before the others accessed parliament with several others being injured as they moved closer to the parliament gate.
A section of Parliament is also said to have been on fire after protesters torched it immediately they accessed it. A police truck was also torched outside parliament.
However, due to the overwhelming number of protesters against police officers, the Kenya Defense Forces and Special Forces are said to have taken over the operation after the police failed to restrict protesters from Parliament.
Reports also indicate that several other MPs were also whisked away through ambulances that came to rescue the injured. Protesters are also said to have carried some parliament furniture and electronics.
