Babu Owino visits the officer who was injured after a teargas cannister exploded on his arms

Published on

Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has shown sympathy for the police officer who reportedly lost his arms after a teargas canister exploded on his hands.

Taking to his X, Owino commended the nurses and doctors for taking quick action to ensure the recovery of the man.

”Yesterday evening, I visited Chief Inspector David Maina, the policeman who got injured while handling a tear gas canister and Corporal Moraa at the Nairobi West Hospital to check on their recovery,” Owino started off.

He further rebuked the police force that is used on peaceful demonstrations in the country.

“While CI Maina suffered terrible injuries, we are happy with the good work that the doctors and nurses of the Nairobi West Hospital are doing to ensure he recovers,” he said.
It is unfortunate that anyone should suffer injuries in the exercise of citizens’ democratic rights. “To our police brothers and sisters, these young people are fighting for you as well; do not accept to be used to stifle freedom in our beloved Kenya. This country belongs to all of us and we have no other so we must get it right.”

The teargas canister explosion accidentally happened after the senior police officer failed to release a detonated canister, costing him two hands.

The demonstrations against passing of the finance bill has seen numerous Kenyans gather to the streets, including celebrities such as Nadia Mukami, Murugi Munyi and Jackie Matubia.
