Kenya's Supreme Court has dismissed a final appeal seeking to force the prosecution of police officers involved in the fatal shooting of Pakistani journalist Arshad Sharif, upholding the independence of the Director of Public Prosecutions.

• The court reaffirmed that prosecutorial decisions rest exclusively with the Director of Public Prosecutions, rejecting calls to compel criminal charges against the officers.
• The Supreme Court upheld the Sh10 million compensation awarded to Sharif's widow, Javeria Siddique, while declining to increase the amount or order the release of investigative records.
• Arshad Sharif was shot dead by Kenyan police on October 23, 2022, in what authorities described as a mistaken identity incident.
• The court agreed with lower courts that Sharif's constitutional right to life had been breached, but did not classify the killing as torture.
