Kenyans have been urged to donate blood for the Magistrate who was shot in Makadara Law Courts on Thursday.
In an appeal made by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) male representative at the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) Omwanza Ombati, the donation is needed urgently.
He said Makadara Principal Magistrate Monica Kivuti is currently admitted at Metropolitan Hospital in BuruBuru.
"Urgent appeal for blood donation. This is to kindly request for blood donation for Hon Monica Kivuti," he said.
"She is currently admitted at Metropolitan Hospital, Buruburu. Your kindness, selflessness and love are highly appreciated. God bless you!"
Kivuti was shot on Thursday afternoon at the Makadara Law Court after she made a ruling in a case involving a policeman's wife.
The judiciary said the magistrate had "cancelled the bond for an accused person who had jumped bond and had failed to offer satisfactory explanations for jumping bond".
"Immediately this decision was pronounced, a person shot at the magistrate and injured her on the hip,” it said in a statement.
The officer, identified as Samson Kipchirchir Kipruto, who was in charge of a police station in Londiani in Kisumu, pulled out a gun and shot the magistrate, injuring her.
Other officers in court responded immediately, with one of them shooting the offending policeman and killing him.
In the process, three other officers were injured, a police report said.
The magistrate and the injured officers are being treated in hospital.
