Religious leaders have condemned the continued extra judicial killings under the current administration.
Anglican Church of Kenya Archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit said the killings are a bad reflection of what the government vowed to uphold.
Ole Sapit, in a statement called the government to expedite investigations and those involved be held accountable. "We demand full accountability from the police, under whose custody this young man died," said Sapit. "We call upon the government to bring to an end all forms of extrajudicial killings.
And we urge all Kenyans to remain peaceful with one another, even as we stand firm in protecting our democratic and constitutional rights from those who would undermine them." He said the 26-year-old teacher died under unclear circumstances, raising many questions than answers. "We must uphold truth, we must walk in peace, we must labour together for a just Kenya." The Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops, through its Secretary-General added its voice to the calls for justice, commending early action taken by Inspector General of Police.
