Two people have been confirmed dead in Kangemi and two more in Ngong following the Saba Saba protests that are currently ongoing in several parts of the country.
A Kangemi paramedic speaking to KTN News stated that both casualties had already been declared dead by the time they arrived at the medical centre.
According to the medic, ambulances have been unable to access several areas of Kangemi due to the erected barricades, even as the protests turned violent in the area.
One of the ones shot in Kangemi was reportedly not a protester but a resident heading home from work when he was hit by a stray bullet.
In Ngong, Kenyans continue to decry the lack of ambulances even after several have been shot, leaving two dead and several others injured.
Images of live bullets found in people's homes and compounds have also been reported in the area.
Another clip seen by Kenyans.co.ke showed the police officers patrolling the residential estate armed with loaded guns and shooting live bullets.
In Ongata Rongai, at least one other person has also been shot, although his current status is yet to be determined as violence continues to escalate in the county.
Meanwhile, the barricades continue to deter first responders from reaching those most in need of the services.
Earlier in the day, a video of police officers barring an ambulance from proceeding to CBD at a roadblock in Nairobi sparked uproar, leading the National Gender and Equality Commission to intervene with demands.
"We call upon security agencies to uphold dignity, humanity & constitutional rights. Ensure free passage for doctors, ambulances, pregnant women, PWDs, older persons, and anyone seeking medical attention.
"Sections 43 & 54 of the Constitution guarantee health, access, and protection for vulnerable groups. Let’s not trample rights in the name of control."
