Police spokesperson explains why they won't release names of officers beating JKUAT student

Names and photos of police officers who brutally beat up a Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) student will not be released.

This is according to Police spokesperson Charles Owino explained why during an interview on Wednesday morning 13 November on Citizen TV.

Kenyans on social media expressed their frustrations after the Kenya Police, through their Twitter handle, announced that the officers caught on camera beating up a JKUAT student had been identified.

Most netizens demanded that the police release the names and photos of the four officers to the public.

However, according to Mr Owino, releasing the photos and names of the officers will only encourage the 'criminal' to continue with the vice.
