Reports by the Kenya National Human Rights Commission (KNHRC) that 24 protesters had been killed in clashes with security forces after the declaration of the presidential election results last Friday create a sad picture in a democratic society where protection of human rights is expected to reign supreme.
The same reports indicate that most of victims were mowed down by police gunfire. Whereas we may not know why the police acted in such a manner, there is no justification to end anyone's life prematurely since there are other avenues to apprehend culprits.
