Members of Parliament have supported the nomination of new commissioners to the National Police Service Commission (NPSC), who were vetted last week by the National Security and Administration Committee.
The legislators emphasised the urgent need for far-reaching police reforms amid growing public anger over alleged brutality and a deteriorating relationship between law enforcement and citizens.
National Assembly Leader of Majority, Kimani Ichung'wah, condemned the recent wave of violent protests in the country, noting that the trend of citizens confronting police officers is a dangerous path.
Ichung'wah supported the need for police culpability but cautioned against the blanket condemnation of the entire force. "Even as we condemn the excesses of a number of officers-because it is not all officers, it is only a few-let us remember that in every institution, including this House, we have our shortcomings.
