The Independent Policing Oversight Authority has raised concern over lack of emergency response services during protests.
The country has witnessed a series of anti-government protests called by the opposition over the high cost of living.
The protests have left several protesters death and dozens nursing serious injuries, including gunshot wounds.
IPOA commissioner John Waiganjo on Thursday said that an ambulance should be made available during protests in order to save lives
“We have seen police and protesters fighting and we have not seen any ambulance. The law requires if police officer shoots a demonstrator he must first report to his immediate senior and also give first aid on the spot to that victim,” Waigango said.
“The officer should take the victim to an ambulance before rushing the victim to the hospital but what we see is total chaos, we haven’t seen anyone coming for the injured,” he added.
He said there lacks a mechanism of the officers on ground reporting back to their seniors on the injuries sustained.
Waiganjo said the reports are crucial for further reviews and investigations into such incidents.
This comes amid reports that at least six people were shot dead and 30 others injured in separate places in the anti-government protests in the country on Wednesday.
Police records showed that the deaths were reported in Nairobi, Wote, Nakuru and Kisumu amid fears the number of deaths will rise.
Over 30 people are nursing injuries after confrontations with the police..
Most of the victims were shot in informal settlements in Nairobi, Nakuru, Kisumu and Makueni.
Police said they arrested more than 300 people who will face charges.
