Nominated MP Bishop Jackson Kosgei was deserted and left alone as protesters stormed the Parliament buildings and set section of it on fire.
The physically challenged legislator recalled the events of Tuesday, June 25, during the Occupy Parliament protest called over the Finance Bill 2024.
At least 5 people were killed and dozens injured as police shot at protestors.
The MP spoke to TV47 where he recounted the day fearing for his safety.
However, this was allayed as the crowd assured him they wouldn't harm him.
"Well my experience that I had with them is that um although amid expression of anger, they expressed human face because when they came in they said mzee we know you, where you voted, and we know you, we know you as a good man," he narrated.
"So they said the question of where you voted and so on is not an issue because now that one tells is a human face, being and so they said we want to help you out because what might happen here may not be good for you," Kosgei said.
"So then they walked us out with hon colleague called Rose Museo. and we came out that is why they escorted us out."
"I saw they are our children and the anger that came in I only pray that it is not hijacked by anything else. But it is genuine they need to be listened. That's why the President took a step and listened to them and stepped down on that issue."
He also took to his Facebook, to assure of his safety later.
"I'm home, safe and sound; we thank God for He always makes a way where there seems to be no way. Thank you all for your concern and prayers."
