Concerns about police violence are growing in Kenya.

According to a joint report by Amnesty International Kenya and 16 local NGOs, cases of police violence and enforced disappearances are on the rise in Kenya.

According to the report, there have been 189 examples of police killings and at least 30 people who have gone missing while in police custody.

"We've seen a considerable increase since 2020, and the numbers are continually increasing," says the researcher "Irng Houghton, executive director of Amnesty International Kenya, said as much.

"The forceful abduction and disappearance of suspected criminals, terrorists, or ordinary citizens is a new trend we've witnessed. Some of them have been discovered dead in various locations, including the Yala River and Siaya County," he added.

In response, a Kenyan government spokesperson said they are committed to abiding by the rule of law and ensuring that human rights are protected.

Anne Wanjiku Kariuki, who is expecting her third child, said the last time she saw her husband, he was being carried through their home by suspected plain-clothed police officials.

They were looking for something, but they wouldn't say what it was. Before he was carried away, her husband managed to mutter "I'm being arrested." Since then, he hasn't been seen.

"It's been a month and a half since they kidnapped him. The kids want to know where he is and why he was detained. "I don't know what to do or feel, and I'm constantly worrying if he's alive or not," she explained.

Regional police officers have denied involvement in David Kuria's disappearance, according to human rights campaigner David Kuria.
