Dive deep into the systemic failures of the Kenyan government, focusing on the pervasive issue of police brutality and the lack of accountability. This podcast uncovers the stories behind the headlines, such as the death of 31-year-old blogger Albert Ojang in police custody earlier this month. Ojang, a teacher, was arrested over social media posts criticizing a senior police officer, and while police initially claimed he committed suicide, an independent autopsy pointed to assault as the cause of death. We'll explore the public outcry and ongoing protests demanding justice for Ojang, with Kenyans wanting to see the responsible officers arrested and brought to book.

Hear first-hand accounts and analysis of incidents like the shooting of an innocent trader at close range by a police officer during Nairobi protests. This incident, witnessed by journalists and the public, involved the trader showing surgical masks he was selling to protesters before being shoved, slapped, and shot. Despite eyewitness accounts and individuals carrying the victim having a different story, the police account denies the civilian died. We also reveal how swarms of men on motorbikes, armed with whips and clubs, joined police in attacking demonstrators, terrorizing people and stealing from journalists.

This podcast critically examines why, despite numerous cases of police brutality, officers have rarely been convicted in the past. We'll discuss the Independent Policing Oversight Authority's investigation into 60 deaths that occurred in June and July last year during the 'Gen Z' protests, noting that no police officers have yet been jailed for these atrocities. Join us as we shine a light on the human cost of these failures and the ongoing fight for a Kenya where citizens do not feel safe at the hands of the police, and justice is served.
