Protester Samuel Kinyanjui finally had a bullet removed from his thigh on August 13, 2025, after a 14-month delay caused by a bureaucratic dispute between the hospital and police. The bullet had been lodged since a June 2024 demonstration against the Finance Bill.

• The hospital demanded police documentation, specifically a P3 form, which Kinyanjui struggled to obtain from stations like Githurai and Kasarani.
• Orthopaedic surgeon Edward Sang explained that standard procedure requires police awareness and the bullet for forensics.
• The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) intervened, leading to the successful surgery, as confirmed by activist Hussein Khalid.
