Police in Nairobi have fired tear gas inside a public service vehicle during protests against the Finance Bill, 2024.
In a video seen by the Star, a cloud of teargas was seen enveloping the vehicle with passengers.
Some of the passengers were also seen camping for safety through the windows.
Kenyans were also seen trying to help the passengers.
It was not immediately clear if there were serious injuries in the vehicle.
The incident comes barely a week after police last week fired tear gas at a Super Metro minibus on Moi Avenue.
The management of Super Metro condemned the act.
The risk of injury from tear gas is greater indoors than outside.
Experts warn that exposure to tear gas indoors, or in large amounts, may have serious health effects which include glaucoma, blindness, chemical burns and respiratory failure
There is also the risk of being hit by tear gas cartridges that may cause severe bruising, loss of eyesight, or skull fracture, resulting in death.
People with respiratory conditions have a higher risk of serious symptoms after tear gas exposure.
These conditions include asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
