That day, he was hit in the back by stray bullets in Kericho town as police were dispersing demonstrators in the wake of the 2007/2008 post-election violence. Kiprono who has been living with two bullets lodged in his chest for the last 12 years, is now appealing for medical and financial assistance to aid his deteriorating health. “I did not realise I had been shot and two bullets were lodged in my chest. I only got to know this from the doctors attending to me while I was admitted at the hospital,” Kiprono said. A medical discharge summary from Tenwek Mission Hospital and dispensaries confirms that he has bullets lodged in his body.
