The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has ordered Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja to either offer a public apology or resign after he was spotted attending a political rally hosted by President William Ruto on Wednesday, April 2.
According to LSK President Faith Odhiambo, Kanja committed a significant blunder by attending the rally, arguing that he acted unconstitutionally by failing to remain impartial. "We invite Mr.
Kanja to step aside from the position of Inspector-General and allow the role to be occupied by an individual willing to serve all Kenyans without imposing their political biases on the people of Kenya," Odhiambo demanded.
LSK criticized IG Kanja's presence and comments at the politically charged event, stating that they compromised the impartiality of the police service and potentially alienated parts of the Kenyan population with differing political opinions.
