Nairobi — The High Court on Friday prohibited the National Police Service from using excessive force during protests.

Justice Thande further ruled that the police should not use brutal force or any form of violence against protesters. In the petition, Kanchory argued that the police had resorted to arbitrary arrests and illegal abductions of protesters, along with intimidation and harassment. Protests have been taking place in Kenya for almost two weeks, with Kenyans agitating over the passage of the Finance Bill 2024 and poor governance.
