This is a very unfortunate attack on the @IG_NPS. As director in charge of Corporate Communication Affairs and Human Rights, I have been addressing a number of issues as alleged on extra judicial killings by Police on his behalf.

The @IG_NPS [IG] is the chief spokesperson for the @NPSOfficial_KE and I simply undertake that responsibility on his behalf.
Last week, on Friday 2/6/2020, the @IG_NPS invited human rights groups in his office to address their grievances.

On the same day, the @IG_NPS accompanied the CS Interior @FredMatiangi, The Attorney General, Chairman @NPSC_KE,The Director @ODPP_KE , Chairperson @IPOA_KE,Deputy Inspector General [DIG] @PoliceKE , DIG @APSKenya and Director @DCI_Kenya to The Kenya School of Government.....

...to address grievances by members of civil society.
We have lately had cases where Police officers have been killed by civilians using machetes. The latest case being the killing of a 29 year old Police officer by civilians in Lamu yesterday. The officer was attacked........

......without provoking or even attempting to arrest anyone. To our surprise no civil society has condemned this unfortunate incident as if it is a normal incident for a police officer to be killed. Such actions widen conflict between police and criminals and promote panic.....

.....among police while using their firearms in the course of duty.It is not in the nature of the @IG_NPS to shout. He is organized and does his work quietly. The @IG_NPS is working tirelessly to promote good working relations between the members of the Public

....and Police officers. A number of police officers have been relieved of their duty and arraigned before court after internal disciplinary mechanism.

The National Police Service remains committed in discharging its mandate and we shall always work within the law.
