What you need to know:

  • The Judicial Service Commission noted that courts remains sacred places and ought to be respected.
  • A similar situation was reported at Kiambu Police Station where detectives tried to arrest another DCP leader.

The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has condemned the violent arrest of an activist at the precincts of Ruiru Law Courts in Kiambu shortly after being released on a cash bail.

JSC, a body that seeks to promote and facilitate the independence and accountability of the Judiciary in Kenya, said it is disheartening to see police officers using unjustified force on an accused despite the absence of any security threat or civil disorder.
