The activists pointed out that Missing Voices, a human rights advocacy group, documented a total of 159 cases of extra-judicial killings and enforced disappearances in 2024.
Out of the cases, 104 (65 percent) incidents are police-related killings, while 55 are enforced disappearances.
Four activists have moved to court seeking orders to privately prosecute Deputy Inspector General of Police Eliud Lagat, over the death of Albert Ojwang.
The human rights activists also want the court to issue orders blocking Mr Lagat from accessing his office, taking part in the investigations, or contacting any witness, pending his arraignment and reading of formal charges against him.
