“Violence Against Kenyans Must Stop Now” Says Babu Owino as He Condemns Police Brutality

Babu Owino has strongly spoken out against what he described as rising cases of violence, intimidation, and harassment of innocent Kenyans by police officers. 

The vocal lawmaker expressed deep concern over repeated reports of citizens being injured during police operations, saying such actions must come to an end immediately.

In a firm statement, Babu Owino said he was deeply disturbed by incidents where security officers are accused of using unnecessary force against ordinary citizens. 

He stated that the main responsibility of the police is to protect the public and maintain order, not to harm people. 

According to him, increasing cases of alleged police brutality are creating fear and weakening the relationship between citizens and security agencies.

The legislator pointed out that several families across the country have suffered because of such incidents. 

He noted that when innocent citizens are injured or lose their lives during police operations, it leaves communities in pain and anger. 

Babu Owino stressed that security agencies must respect the rights and dignity of every Kenyan while carrying out their duties.

He further explained that intimidation and harassment of citizens threaten democratic freedoms.

According to him, Kenyans have a right to express their opinions, attend public gatherings, and carry out their daily activities without fear of violence.

He said maintaining peace and order should not involve the use of excessive force against members of the public.

Babu Owino also called on authorities to conduct thorough investigations into cases of alleged police misconduct.

He insisted that officers who are found to have violated the law should face disciplinary action.

He argued that accountability is important in ensuring that public trust in security institutions is restored.

The lawmaker further urged the government to strengthen monitoring systems within law enforcement agencies.

He said improved training and proper supervision of officers could help reduce cases of misuse of power.

According to him, professional policing requires officers to follow legal procedures and treat citizens with fairness and respect.

He warned that continued reports of violence could increase tension between the public and police officers.

Babu Owino said that when citizens lose confidence in law enforcement institutions, it becomes difficult to maintain cooperation between the two sides.

He encouraged authorities to listen to public concerns and work towards building a safer environment for all Kenyans.

Human rights organisations have also been raising similar concerns, calling for reforms that promote accountability and transparency in policing.

Activists have argued that protecting human life should remain the top priority for security agencies.

These discussions have continued to shape national conversations about how policing should be conducted in modern society.

Babu Owino also appealed to citizens to remain peaceful while seeking justice and demanding accountability from authorities.

He encouraged Kenyans to use lawful channels to express their concerns and push for reforms.

At the same time, he urged police officers to remember their duty to serve and protect citizens without discrimination or unnecessary force.
