KENYA SLOWLY MARCHING INTO A POLICE STATE

Jul 27, 2023

The last few months, Kenyans have witnessed waves of protests by various groups including civil society organisations, general public, public service vehicle operators ,taxi drivers, a section of civil servants and political opposition as an expression of anger and concern over the soaring cost of living, controversial tax hikes contained in the Finance Act and the mandatory retesting of all PSV drivers.

Unfortunately, these groups have been met with brutal force by the security agencies resulting in serious injuries, extra-judicial killings and forced disappearances.
