This time, however, the protesters broke through the Kenyan parliament, just around the time the Ghanaian MPs were on their visit. A BBC report said that MPs were engaged in heated debate over the finance bill before it was passed. It added that hundreds of MPs were trapped inside the parliament building as police continue their efforts to repel the protesters who have breached the complex. Kenyans have been protesting against the finance bill, arguing that it imposes additional financial burdens on citizens already grappling with high costs of living. In a video made available to GhanaWeb, it shows the moment the Ghanaian MPs were being directed away to a safe place within the parliament building.
