Senators on Wednesday, June 11, questioned the circumstances under which 31-year-old Albert Ojwang, who died in police custody, was transferred from Homa Bay to Nairobi, saying the move raises serious concerns about police conduct.

Ojwang was reportedly arrested in Homa Bay before being taken to Nairobi under unclear circumstances. His body was later found at City Mortuary.
