April 8, 2021 IGP Martins Okoth Ochola engages minister Obiga Kania as they appear before MPs
The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Martins Okoth Ochola has backtracked on his statements in which he appeared to endorse police brutality against journalists.
Ochola, early this year, at a joint security press briefing said that police would continue beating journalists for their own safety. On the contrary, it is the media targeting security. It is portraying security as brutal and siding with the government. When we tell a journalist, don t go there and you insist on going where there is danger, we shall beat you for your own safety. I have no apology, Ochola said then.
Police beating of journalists for their own good was a joke
