flag Kenya faces backlash after transferring officers linked to a viral pool hall assault, raising concerns over accountability and police reform.

flag Kenya’s Police Reforms Working Group has condemned the transfer of officers linked to a January 10, 2026, incident in Nandi County, where a viral video showed police allegedly assaulting young men playing pool, demanding ID cards, and caning them. flag The move, criticized as undermining accountability, comes amid ongoing investigations by the IPOA and the Inspector General, Douglas Kanja. flag Despite constitutional mandates and decades of human rights training, Kenya’s police continue to face widespread abuse allegations, including extrajudicial killings and arbitrary arrests, with the Independent Medico-Legal Unit reporting 97 such killings in 2025. flag Critics say weak oversight, political interference, and a culture of impunity prevent meaningful reform, eroding public trust.
