Why was a man arrested in parliament?
Security had been strengthened in the parliament, due to the preparation of protest against the government planned to be organized during the President's speech on Thursday, November 21.
Following the raid on the building and part of it being set on fire during the June protests, security agencies were on high alert.
A video circulating online shows leaders and high-ranking military officers walking into parliament ahead of Ruto's arrival.
As the number of people entering the parliament decreased, a relative was seen enlarging the buildings while being excited.
However, a security officer forcefully pulled him back.
However, the young man refused and calmed down one of the officers, which led to a violent beating.
The man found himself falling, after being pulled down by another officer who was not seen on camera while other guests were walking beside him.
The video was widely discussed on social media.

Why did William Ruto cancel the Adani contract?
In his speech, Ruto directed the immediate suspension of Adani Company's cooperation with the Kenyan government in improving important infrastructure in the country.
The Indian company had entered into a partnership with the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETRACO) and the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) to renovate and operate the electricity transmission infrastructure and the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, respectively. .
Ruto said the decision was made on the advice of investigative agencies in the country and abroad, which involved the company in inappropriate actions.
