Amidst the ongoing protests in Kenya, Nairobi's City Hall, which houses the office of the Governor of Nairobi, has been set on fire. Live visuals show a fire blazing through a lower ground window, with smoke emanating from other windows as well.
Reports indicate that individuals were seen removing furniture, including chairs, from the building during the chaos.
Earlier in the day, protesters stormed Kenya's parliament and stole the ceremonial mace. Lawmakers present in the parliament building managed to escape through an underground channel as the situation escalated.
Lawmakers were safely evacuated to the nearby government building of Bunge Towers as police clashed with protesters outside the parliament premises.
The incidents at both Nairobi's City Hall and Kenya's parliament highlight the escalating tensions and unrest in the country, with protesters expressing their grievances through acts of vandalism and theft.
