YouTube Description
as posted by the channelScores of people were crushed and injured as Kenyans on Tuesday forced their way into a stadium where William Ruto is being inaugurated as president.
A medic said a fence at the Nairobi stadium fell down after people pushed it and about 60 were injured, though the number may rise.
"We had to treat some with minor injuries. Most of them were rushed to the main hospital in Nairobi," Peter Muiruri said.
There were no reports of deaths.
People tried to dodge baton-wielding security forces, but some failed.
"I was beaten by the police after trying to get inside," one witness, Benson Kimutai, said, who had a leg injury.
Ruto narrowly won the August 9 election in East Africa’s most stable democracy over long-time opposition figure Raila Odinga, and the Supreme Court last week rejected challenges to the official results.
Ruto is taking power in a country heavily burdened by debt that will challenge his efforts to fulfill sweeping campaign promises made to Kenya’s poor.
