Justice Delayed: One Year After Albert Ojwang's Death in Police Custody, Kenya Demands Answers

A young Kenyan man, Albert Ojwang', died in police custody at the Central Police Station in Kenya. The incident has sparked outrage and calls for justice from religious leaders. Former ICT Minister Samuel Poghisio added his voice to the chorus of demands for transparency, stating, "When they tampered with the CCTV camera at Central Police, they forgot to rush to Mbagathi Hospital to cover it up. They need to come clean, because the first story was pure hogwash." This death is not an isolated incident; similar cases of extrajudicial killings of young Kenyans by police have occurred, raising serious concerns about police impunity and accountability. The one-year anniversary of Ojwang's death is approaching, and the ongoing investigation continues to draw attention to the need for justice and reform within the Kenyan police force. The case underscores the importance of transparency and accountability in law enforcement.
