Court Finds the Inspector General of Police in Contempt:
The High Court has found Inspector General of Police (IGP) Douglas Kanja Kirocho in contempt of conservatory orders issued on 9 July 2025 by Justice Lawrence Mugambi.
In a ruling delivered by Hon. Lady Justice Patricia Nyaundi, the Court held that the IGP failed to comply with binding orders requiring him and officers under his command to issue timely public advisories before barricading roads or establishing checkpoints.
.@joshuamalidzo @NoraMbagathi @RayOdanga
Court Update: Ruling
Tomorrow, the High Court is set to determine our Application seeking to hold the Inspector General of Police liable for contempt of court.
This application stemmed from the events of June 25, 2026, when police barricaded roads leading into Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD) despite an existing conservatory order that required prior public notice before any such barricades or roadblocks could be erected.

POLICE REFORMS Working Group condemns crackdown on foreign traders following President Ruto’s orders, citing reports of harassment, profiling and extortion; calls for immediate halt to non-statutory enforcement.

Civic space is not an abstract idea.
It is the space where citizens speak, organise, assemble, participate and hold power to account.
At #ACSPS2026, we bring these conversations to the heart of Makueni.

Grace Wangechi: Will the new police uniform contribute to officers being accountable? There’s a miscommunication, and we're losing the plot when we focus on the color, design, and material. The new uniform has imprinted identification that's not removable #CitizenDayBreak

Grace Wangechi: The task force report on reforms should have been released by Ruto, not Maraga. The status of the implementation of the recommendations is very worrying, given that they were derived through taxpayers’ money and a public participation process #CitizenDayBreak

Between 2019 and 2026, the Missing Voices Coalition has documented 196 cases of enforced disappearance in Kenya.
Kenya must ratify the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance.

On the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, we remember those who have disappeared and stand with the families who continue to search for truth.
No family should be left in uncertainty. No disappearance should be ignored.
