[Photo|Reuters]Saboti Member of Parliament, Caleb Amisi, says he would have been no more, if he was not rescued from his car, after police lobbed a teargas canister into it, during NASA anti-IEBC protests in Nairobi on Friday."After we had addressed the press at Capitol Hill offices in Upperhill, alongside party members, we drove into the Central Business District, where anti-riot police repulsed us using excessive force along Kenyatta Avenue," he narrated."They lobbe a teargas canister towards my car, which broke the side window. They, thereafter, lobbed another teargas canister into the car through the hole created by the other. Besides me, there were two other people inside the car, my driver and my bodyguard. I collapsed after inhalation of the teargas," said the MP.He later hurriedly opened the car's door and felled in the middle of the road, leaving the car."If an oncoming car was speeding, it could have run over me. Media people and a water vendor performed first aid on me, which helped me regain consciousness," he told the press.Amisi added that his driver was forced to immediately drive off, since unknown people had started robbing him, leaving some journalists to drive him off."I have not visited the hospital yet, given I feel better now. Actually, I am at the airport heading to Kitale. I have also not yet spoken to Nairobi police boss over the incident. NASA supporters were not around me during the 3pm incident."
