Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in Kakamega have urged the government to end police brutality that has cut short the dreams of a promising young Kenyan Albert Ojwang.
They urged the government to take measures that will restore the confidence of Kenyans in the police service as they go about their daily activities even as they recount the unfortunate circumstances under which Ojwang lost his life.
They said they are saddened that some police officers have been violating the law on arrest and presentation of suspects to be charged in a court of law whereby they instead torture them.
Speaking to the media in Kakamega town, the CSOs led by the President of Young Patriots for Unity and Progress (YPUP) Daniel Adika said that the gruesome murder of Ojwang' is an outright gross violation of human rights. "The murder of Ojwang' is an act that goes against human rights and the universal human rights that dictate that life is sacred and must be protected and guarded by every means possible.
