There is need to reform the Kenya police

NAIROBI: For residents of northern Kenya, the Security Law (Amendment) Bill is an affront to national cohesion and integration. It balkanises the nation and will further marginalise pastoralists.

It makes communities that have suffered massacres perpetrated by State agencies more vulnerable as security officers get discretionary powers to make them victims without care for proof. It reduces the former Northern Frontier District (NFD) to a mere appendage of the nation.
