Politicians and Activists Allege Police Misconduct and Demand Investigations - February 2026

Several public figures have raised alarms over alleged police misconduct. Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei is demanding investigations into the alleged use of police officers to recover debts, specifically citing incidents where dairy cows were confiscated in Mosoriot Village. In Mwala, MP Vincent Musyoka Kawaya has publicly demanded action against the Mbiuni OCS, Francis Mutua, accusing the officer of leading a criminal gang. In a separate incident, the family of Vincent Ayomo, who was allegedly shot dead by police during a rally in Kitengela, is experiencing delays with his post-mortem. Activist Boniface Mwangi also expressed fear for his life after a report revealed authorities installed spyware on his phone during a July 2025 arrest. These events have led Embakasi East MP Babu Owino to support calls for the resignation of Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja.
