A Kangemi paramedic speaking to KTN News stated that both casualties had already been declared dead by the time they arrived at the medical centre.

According to the medic, ambulances have been unable to access several areas of Kangemi due to the erected barricades, even as the protests turned violent in the area.
One of the ones shot in Kangemi was reportedly not a protester but a resident heading home from work when he was hit by a stray bullet.
In Ngong, Kenyans continue to decry the lack of ambulances even after several have been shot, leaving two dead and several others injured.
Images of live bullets found in people’s homes and compounds have also been reported in the area.

Another clip seen by Kenyans.co.ke showed the police officers patrolling the residential estate armed with loaded guns and shooting live bullets.
In Ongata Rongai, at least one other person has also been shot, although his current status is yet to be determined as violence continues to escalate in the county.
Meanwhile, the barricades continue to deter first responders from reaching those most in need of the services.

Earlier in the day, a video of police officers barring an ambulance from proceeding to CBD at a roadblock in Nairobi sparked uproar, leading the National Gender and Equality Commission to intervene with demands.
"We call upon security agencies to uphold dignity, humanity & constitutional rights. Ensure free passage for doctors, ambulances, pregnant women, PWDs, older persons, and anyone seeking medical attention.

“Sections 43 & 54 of the Constitution guarantee health, access, and protection for vulnerable groups. Let’s not trample rights in the name of control.”
The National Police Service has flagged as fake a notice purporting that there has been an increase in the number of foreigners infiltrating protests.

Taking to X on Monday, July 7, the police refuted claims of being behind the notice, which has been circulating on social media, purporting that 122 foreigners of different nationalities had been arrested while protesting in the last two nationwide protests.
“This press statement circulating on social media, purporting to be issued by the Spokesperson of the National Police Service, is fake,” the accompanying text warned.
Although not published on the NPS’ official page, the notice bore the signs of a regular notice from the institution, including its logo, font style and even a signature by its spokesperson, Muchiri Nyaga.

The fake notice claimed that most of the foreigners arrested were Burundians at 26, followed by South Sudan and Rwanda at 19 and 18, respectively.
Other nationalities mentioned in the fake notice were 17 Somalis, 12 Congolese, 9 Nigerians, 7 Ugandans, 3 Yemenis and 11 stateless ones.
A few weeks ago, an immigrant was captured on camera brandishing a machete at an anti-riot police officer during protests in London area, Nakuru county.
After the clip went viral, the man was identified as a Ugandan national and ultimately arrested.
Confirming the arrest, Nakuru Town West Sub-County Police Commander Stephen Kirui said that he would be charged with being in Kenya illegally, robbery, stealing, incitement, and breaking and entering.
However, the police have not confirmed arrests of any other foreigners caught protesting in Nairobi, although several Kenyans have been arrested over the same in the past few days.
Since the June 25 commemorative protests, the police have been rounding up youths across the country, including in Nairobi, Nyandarua, and Embu, over different charges, including looting.
Three of those arrested were later identified as human rights activists, eliciting public uproar and calls for their release. Last week, they were released on a cash bail of Ksh200,000 each, awaiting their next hearing on July 23.
