The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) has now raised concern over the rising cases of violence, insecurity, and chaos in political rallies in the country and placed blame on the political class.

This came even as the Authority warned that Kenya risks sliding into heightened instability if leaders do not tone down inflammatory rhetoric in the build-up to the General Election next year.
