Several Ghanaian Members of Parliament, currently visiting Kenya as part of the Local Government Committee delegation, found themselves amidst escalating protests in Nairobi.

As protesters flooded the streets, they breached the Kenyan parliament just as the Ghanaian MPs were present.

The unrest, which has persisted for days, escalated on Tuesday, June 25, as demonstrators flooded the streets near Kenya's parliament.

Tear gas filled the air as police struggled to control the situation, exacerbated by public outcry over a finance bill proposing tax hikes.

The bill, initially contentious for its proposals including a 16% sales tax on bread and a 25% duty on cooking oil, eventually passed despite revisions aimed at addressing public concerns.

During the chaos, Ghanaian MPs were captured in a viral video being escorted to safety within the parliament building as police attempted to manage the protesters who had breached the premises.
