On June 2, 2022 people from Masimba area of Kajiado County staged a demonstration in intending to march along the Nairobi-Mombasa highway to the offices of the Kenya Wildlife Services to present their grievances to the authority, who they claim had failed to protect the people in the area from rising numbers of attacks by elephants, and in particular a recent attack that resulted in the death of a female teacher. Officers from the General Service Unit (GSU), who were travelling on the road on their way to Mombasa, then fired on the protesters resulting in the death of four and injuring seven.
