Nairobi — Public Health Minister Beth Mugo was on Thursday forced to flee as her constituents held chaotic demonstrations to protest the killing of seven people by the Police.

The demonstrators in Nairobi's Kawangware estate were protesting the killing of seven people by Police on Wednesday night.

The official account from the Police is that the seven were part of a "notorious gang" killed in an ambush. But according to the demonstrators, the seven were taxi drivers.

Minister Mugo's attempt to quell the demonstrations proved futile and was forced to flee from the charged crowd.

Police lobbed tear gas cannisters to disperse the demonstrations staged along the old Naivasha road.
