Tragically, 187 people were killed & 37 others forcefully disappeared through police abuse of power in 2021. In the wake of the disbanded Special Service Unit, these arrests confirm police involvement & culpability in extrajudicial killings & enforced disappearances.

#PressConference : Aquinas School is trying to cover up & avoid responsibility for the defilement of a form 1 student within the institution. Instead of investigating & arresting the perpetrators the school authorities denied that the child was abused & sent him away from school.

In Mombasa, the police seem to follow a classic script: "Step 1: Lob teargas. Step 2: Scatter peaceful protesters. Step 3: Repeat." But they forgot to read the fine print: "This script is ineffective in shielding those in power from accountability." #SabaSabaMarchForOurLives

Leonard Mwangi, the 4th accused person has been acquitted. We join @IJMKenya and the families of William Kamani, Josephat Mwenda & Joseph Muiruri in mourning and remembering the deceased. We hope that this judgement is a step towards police accountability. #iamwillie

Labeling our extrajudicial killings report as "malicious" and "false"? Poor try, regime! The truth is crystal clear: police killed 28 people, some in cold blood, during the anti-tax protests. No hiding behind scripted propaganda. The world also watched—and returned the same

VICTORY: The Court of Appeal just upheld the high court's judgment that the BBI bill is unconstitutional & an illegal attempt to dismember the provisions of our constitution. We're glad the court protected against this clear violation of our constitution #BBIRuling #LindaKatiba

The correct procedure is for a police officer who has collected enough evidence to link an offense to a particular person is to go to the court and ask for a warrant. #ReleaseKiama #FreeMutemi

In the course of an ongoing public health crisis, the govt of Kenya has granted a 4.5 billion car grant to MCAs as political lobby and influence on their oversight role in ratifying the BBI bill. This is a manifestation of our flawed political system.

The govt has taken expensive loans bilaterally from States, international financial institutions & corporations over the past decade but this processes have not been transparent as the Kenyan public isn't involved in the process & is only left to rely on stories from the media.
