Families of Police Brutality Victims March to IG Kanja's Office - June 2026

On June 25, families of victims of police brutality marched to the office of Inspector General Japhet Koome to demand justice and accountability, marking a solemn commemoration. A brief standoff occurred at the gate of Jogoo House before relatives of victims of alleged police brutality were granted entry, following a procession from Uhuru Park. The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights has outlined proposals regarding the right to protest, aiming to clarify and strengthen the legal framework surrounding this fundamental freedom. Separately, business owners are raising concerns over significant property losses incurred during recent, unannounced demonstrations with no explicit plan for compensation.
