The United Kingdom has condemned the alleged use of force by Kenyan police officers against peaceful and unarmed protesters who were demanding the resignation of the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Eliud Lagat.
The British High Commission, in a brief statement on Wednesday, June 18, expressed its disappointment at the brutality meted out on protesters by rogue officers during yesterday's demonstrations.
While condemning such incidents, the office called for a swift, independent and transparent investigation into the actions of the police officers captured assaulting protesters.
According to the Commission, police forces must at all times command the trust and confidence of those they are duty-bound to serve and protect.
