Former Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome has suffered a blow after the High Court dismissed his bid to overturn a ruling that held him personally accountable for police brutality against striking doctors, including the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) Secretary General Davji Atella.
