Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet has said the public should not massively condemn police officers without evidence of crimes they allegedly committed at the University of Nairobi.
This is after several viral videos went rounds social media showing the officers brutally handling the students.
But Boinnet says the public should not rush to castigate the officers before knowing what really transpired during the demonstrations at the institution.
“It is important to understand all these things in context… why did we get there in the first instance? So we should not be judged on the basis of a 3 seconds clip not knowing, how did we get there in the first instance?” said the Inspector General during the interview.
He however noted that he respects procedure and that in case any officer will be found to have broken procedure, the law will take its course.
