Former Chief Justice David Maraga plans to speak publicly Monday about recent police killings. He will address the death of Albert Omondi Ojwang at Vigilance House at 10 am. Media outlets received invitations to attend the press conference. Maraga wants to announce planned action against police forces. The statement comes after Ojwang died at a police station.
Police arrested Ojwang from Homabay County for alleged false publication claims. He died June 7 after spending time at Central Police Station. IPOA officers called police who handled Ojwang to their Nairobi offices Wednesday. Some officers brought lawyers during the questioning sessions. Others appeared without legal representation for the interviews.
Police gave conflicting stories about Ojwang's condition during custody. Some claimed he arrived at the station already critically injured. Officers said they tried saving his life after noticing his poor health. DCI workers stated Ojwang appeared healthy when transferred at 9:35 pm Saturday. IPOA must send findings to the Director of Public Prosecutions within seven days.
Missing security camera footage blocks the investigation progress. Key recordings from the station commander's office disappeared. IPOA leads the probe into the unexplained death. The authority has seven days to complete the investigation file. Prosecutors will decide whether to charge the officers involved.
