Police killed most people outside the law in Nairobi last year. The capital saw 38 deaths from a total of 104 across Kenya. Kiambu came next with nine deaths. Kajiado and Migori both had six cases each. These numbers show a small drop from the previous year.
Police shot 90 people dead compared to 113 the year before. Five people died while locked up at police stations. Most deaths happened during fights against crime or street protests. Officers faced almost no punishment for these actions. Only four people got arrested, and just one officer went to court.
The country saw nearly 1,800 street protests throughout the year. People want police leaders to work with protest groups to keep everyone safe. Better training might help officers handle tough situations. Many Kenyans struggle with money problems and trust officials less these days. Better economic help could reduce anger on the streets.
