Lawsuits against police must jolt IGP into action
April 27, 2021 IGP Okoth Ochola
The Inspector of Police Martins Okoth Ochola is disturbed that his force is saddled with a huge load of legal suits against poor policing practices.
Ochola says these suits, which are hanging over the force, have inevitably imposed psychological stress on his officers who may be personally liable for the wrongs they did while pursuing their official duties.
The police officers have been taken to court for abusing citizens’ human rights. Ochola said some of the incidents that commonly give rise to civil litigation against police are; misuse of firearms, unlawful arrests, search and seizure, poor responses to complaints, illegal detentions, etc.
