State House Spokesperson Manoah Esipisu, has raised his voice, following an incident where, police gained entrance to University of Nairobi, and brutalised stufentd, last week.
Kenyans have raised questions over the incident, after photos and videos showing police brutalising students in their hostels went viral on social media.
Below is Esipisu's response, during his weekly Sunday briefing.
"Let me start with the police brutality. As you know, Police IPOA has already launched investigations and the IG of police is also investigating the matter.
No one wants to see any violence brought to any one, leave alone in a university campus. But the students also have to ensure that rogues that are robbing people along the streets and highways don’t end up in university hostels.
University hostels must not be the refugee for thugs roaming the streets in the name of demonstrations. However, this is the matter I have just said is being investigated by IPOA and also is being investigated by the IG.
And obviously, if any one is found culpable then they will be dealt with according to the police codes, terms of service."
