The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) has condemned the storming of Naivasha County Referral Hospital by a mob that seized a body from hospital custody.

The incident, which occurred on Monday, May 18, disrupted medical operations and left health workers in fear, the union said in a statement on Wednesday, May 19.

The raid on the hospital occurred during nationwide fuel price protests that left four people dead and over 30 injured across the country.

Protesters blocked roads and confronted police in several towns after the government hiked diesel prices by 23.5 per cent, stranding thousands of commuters after matatu operators downed tools.
