Understanding Police Misconduct and Your Rights

The Constitution of Kenya 2010 is the supreme law, guaranteeing fundamental rights that law enforcement officers must respect, including the right to dignity (Article 23), freedom from torture (Article 25), and fair administrative action (Article 47). Legislation such as the National Police Service Act, 2011, and the mandate of the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) provide additional layers of oversight and accountability. During your free consultation, our lawyers will help you identify if the actions you have experienced fall under the definition of police misconduct and how these legal frameworks apply to your specific case.
