Civil society has sounded the alarm about the lack of security preparedness for the August 9 General Election, saying things could spin out of control if the government doesn’t move fast to retrain the police.
The lobby groups yesterday expressed concern with the manner in which officers handle civilians during protests, saying many use excessive force.
With the elections period expected to be full of protests, the human rights activists said they really feared for their safety as well as that of Kenyans.
