The incident reportedly occurred on the same day President William Ruto was addressing Members of the County Assembly within the premises, a coincidence that has sparked public outrage and debate.
In the footage, the lawyer is seen walking calmly near the Assembly entrance before he is suddenly accosted by several individuals. The attackers appear coordinated, swiftly surrounding him and grabbing his belongings.
Witnesses say the assailants operated with confidence, seemingly aware of their surroundings. Within moments, they fled the scene, leaving the visibly shaken lawyer struggling to comprehend what had just happened.
The brazenness of the attack, captured clearly on camera, has alarmed many Kenyans, especially given the proximity to a high-security government institution and the presence of senior leaders at the time.
Security experts now question how such an incident could occur in a supposedly protected zone, particularly during a high-profile visit by the Head of State, when security is typically heightened.
Sources indicate that the matter has since been reported to authorities, with investigations underway to identify and apprehend those involved in the robbery.
The incident has also reignited debate on rising cases of organized criminal gangs operating in urban areas, often targeting unsuspecting victims in broad daylight.
Legal professionals and civil society groups have condemned the attack, calling for urgent reforms and improved security measures to protect citizens, regardless of their location or status.
As investigations continue, Kenyans are now demanding accountability from security agencies, urging swift action to restore public confidence and ensure such incidents do not recur.
