Police say at least four officers were injured in last Friday’s Saba Saba protests in Nairobi.
Police shot and killed at least five people in separate incidents in Kisii, Migori, and Kisumu.
The protests were called to mark Saba Saba, which is associated with the struggle for a multiparty system in the country.
The Independent Policing Oversight Authority says they are investigating the shooting incidents that were reported.
The officers were injured in the Kamkunji area where protesters clashed with police.
This was as they left the historic Kamkunji grounds and tried to access the Central Business District, police say.
The injured officers include an inspector, a sergeant, a corporal, and constables.
During the incident two police motor vehicles- a Toyota Land cruiser and Ranger- had their windscreens smashed.
The injured officers were treated in hospital and discharged.
Dozens of people were arrested in the chaos that in the end saw opposition leaders led by Raila Odinga access the CBD and leave amid a police push.
The police action has divided government officials with some feeling police were using excessive force on the protesters.
Some government officials felt the protesters could have been left to march through the streets under police guidance rather than disperse them.
The police violence left several cars damaged.
The officers also used water cannons in dispersing the group which had been peaceful.
Officials are discussing the mode of the police operations in the subsequent protests, if any.
