The United Nations is set to review Kenya's human rights record for the third time in a decade, Daily Nation reports.
Kenya has been on the receiving end from rights groups which accuse government agencies of gross violation of rights.
The most recent case is that of forceful deportation of lawyer Miguna Miguna, who is yet to return to the country.
In a report sent to the UN, Kenya has defended her record in recent years, arguing that most extrajudicial killings have been investigated.
“Training on human rights is an integral component of the police curriculum,” states Kenya's national report to the UN body.
“The police are expected to use the knowledge gained from the training to effectively protect and respect human rights as they go about their work of maintaining law and order.”
According to the government, those accused of extrajudicial killings have often been subjected to the justice system.
“All allegations of extrajudicial killing by law enforcement officers are promptly investigated and perpetrators brought to justice to ensure accountability,” the government's report adds.
Despite the government's defence, the Kenya National Human Rights Commission maintains that cases of violation of rights have been reported.
“The commission continued to receive complaints of unlawful torture, killings, disappearances and sexual violence,” the rights group declared in its submission to the UN council.
Official handling of cases of sexual- and gender-based violence is generally “poor”, the commission finds.
