“The confinement rooms should also have cameras and be fitted with alarm bells so they can raise alarm if in danger,” Dr. Ogony said during a breakfast meeting of the IPOA and the Kenya Editors Guild (KEG).

"No private security service providers should be armed as it poses a huge challenge. Note that even members of the National Police Service, who are trained to use firearms, are misusing them,” Ms. Muthaura said.

The Authority has been against individuals who are licensed to use or own firearms but misuse them.

The Commission is still on the plans to provide a comprehensive report on the Police reforms and restructuring.
