Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Two people were shot and injured by police in the ongoing anti-government demonstrations in Migori County. They were admitted to Oruba nursing home hospital.<\/p>\n

Hospital administrator Mike Ochere confirmed two middle-aged men who suffered gunshot wounds were receiving treatment at the health facility. One of the victims was shot in the thigh while the other was shot in the leg.<\/p>\n

A middle-aged woman who suffered from suffocation after police lobbed teargas into her house was taken to the hospital for treatment. Police said they are investigating the incident.<\/p>\n

A senior officer said there had been a confrontation in the area that led to the shooting. Transport services were earlier paralyzed and businesses closed within Migori town following the ongoing demonstration within Migori and other towns within Migori County.<\/p>\n

The police have stopped the demonstrators from accessing Migori central business district. The protesters engaged the police in running battles within the estates which are adjacent to Migori town.<\/p>\n

The demonstrators accused the police of using excessive force on peaceful protesters. The anti-government protests took place in different parts of the country amid police crackdown on the leaders. Dozens of leaders were arrested in a police operation.<\/p>\n
