At least eight people were killed and 207 injured in Wednesday’s June 25 protests across the country.
The protests were called to commemorate the 2024 Finance Bill protests in which more than 60 people were killed.
The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) said a number of injuries among police officers were also documented.
There were at least 61 suspected protestors across the country.
Further, there was infiltration of demonstrations by goons.
This led to looting of property in many places.
Those killed were shot in Nairobi, Emali, Molo and other parts of the country.
The protests were held in 24 counties and later turned chaotic. Property were looted and others destroyed.
Many roads were blocked for hours as groups flocked there to air their anger and frustration against the government.
IPOA said they deployed officers to the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights Situation Room to strengthen bilateral collaboration between the two
institutions in monitoring interventions.
So far, the Authority has recorded:
IPOA said there was extensive damage to private and public property and the monitoring team documented the use of excessive and varied force by police
