A protester, Samuel Kinyanjui, has finally had a bullet removed from his thigh after a 14-month ordeal involving a bureaucratic standoff between a hospital and the police.

The bullet had been lodged in his body since the demonstration against the Finance Bill in June 2024, but it took a long time to removed due to the hospital's demand for police documentation that Kinyanjui was unable to obtain.

In an interview with NTV, Kinyanjui recounted the frustrating experience of trying to obtain a P3 form from local police stations.

He alleged that officers at Githurai Police Station had sent him to Kasarani, only for him to be redirected back upon his arrival, leaving him trapped in a loop.
