Serious questions are being raised about the role of the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) in investigating the alleged custodial killing of Albert Ojwang', a 31-year-old teacher and blogger, who died while in police custody.
The authority has so far overseen the arrest of three individuals: Officer Commanding Central Police Station Samson Talam, Police Constable Juma Mukhwana, and Kelvin Mutisya, a CCTV technician.
However, these arrests have only fuelled public calls for accountability at higher levels, with many questioning when IPOA will move against senior figures believed to be implicated.
IPOA CEO Elema Halake confirmed at a press conference on Friday, June 13, that Ojwang' died in custody at Central Police Station.
