Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) CEO William Sigilai has confirmed that the hawker shot by a police officer during Tuesday's protests underwent surgery at the facility.
Speaking during a press conference on Wednesday, Dr Sigilai confirmed that the hawker received emergency surgery at the hospital, during which an object believed to be a bullet was removed from the left side of his head.
He was subsequently taken to the Intensive Care Unit, where he remains.
However, he could not confirm whether the object was a live bullet or a rubber bullet, stating that all objects removed from all casualties had been taken for further analysis. "Usually, when we remove foreign bodies from the bodies of injured persons, they are submitted for analysis, and that is what we will establish.
