Get to the bottom of killings and blatant rights violations

The alleged involvement of security officers in the death of Dennis Lusava in Likuyani, Kakamega County, should worry every law-abiding Kenyan. Lusava is reported to have gotten into a scuffle with police on patrol for allegedly not wearing a mask. He was arrested, freed, then found dead in a river.

His story is not isolated and falls among many mysterious deaths linked to brutal force by the police. While investigations are ongoing, fact is the problem of extrajudicial killings has been with us for eons.
