Kenyan Police Brutality Sparks Public Outrage in Matuu

Matuu, Kenya: Public Outcry Over Police Brutality Amidst Political Tensions A video circulating online shows a tense situation in Matuu, Kenya, where a large crowd has gathered around vehicles, expressing anger over the police's use of tear gas. The video includes a voice-over which claims that police should check their payslips before using tear gas on citizens. The speaker alleges that the police are being manipulated by Ruto and that their actions are unjust. "Polisi mkitumwa kutupa teargas kwanza angalia payslip vile imedhulumiwa na Ruto, usipupie mwenzako teargas lakini tupia Ruto mwenyewe," the voice-over states, translating to: "Police, when ordered to throw tear gas, first check your payslips how they have been manipulated by Ruto, don't throw tear gas on your fellow citizen but throw it on Ruto himself." The video highlights a clear public sentiment against the police action and raises questions about potential corruption and political influence. While the video itself doesn't provide verifiable evidence of corruption, it reflects the concerns and frustrations of the crowd. The incident underscores the need for further investigation into the circumstances surrounding the use of tear gas and the underlying political context.
