Haki Africa, a human rights organization, has vowed to file all cases of police brutality in a bid to ensure justice prevails.Francis Auma, the organisation’s rapid response officer hall has condemned the use of excessive force by police in the name of maintaining peace.Speaking at the Kwale Arts troop hall on Tuesday, Auma accused police of being linked to the enforced disappearances of people in the country."We are telling police bosses that their days are numbered. This is our country and we want peace,” said Auma.Auma further said that all cases of police brutality will be documented and presented before the African Human Rights Commission."We are documenting these cases and as Haki Africa, we are going to present them in Banjul, Gambia at the African Commission on Human Rights,” said Auma.He further disclosed that the organisation will table the cases in Geneva as Kenya is expected to attend an upcoming review in Switzerland."It might take time but we are not cowards and those culpable must face the law," he said.The officer criticised the confrontation witnessed between the police and NASA supporters during the just concluded electioneering period."During the political period police have killed people in Nyanza and Nairobi and nothing has been done. The constitution allows for any political party to hold rallies or demonstrations provided police are notified," he said.Auma also cited a case in Kwale where residents are reported to have been harassed by police officers who were searching for stolen firearms.
