IG Kanja anarudisha OCS Ishiara baada ya wawili kUUawa katika maandamano Embu

Inspekta Jenerali wa Polisi ameamuru kurudishwa kwa Afisa Mkuu wa Kituo cha Polisi (OCS) Ishiara kufuatia maandamano yenye ghasia katika Hospitali ya Ishiara Level 4, Embu County, ambapo wawili wamekufa na wengine kadhaa wamejeruhiwa. Maandamano yalianza kwa amani kulingana na huduma duni za hospitali lakini yalizidi ghasia wakati polisi walipotumia risasi za moja kwa moja. Uchunguzi unaendelea na NPS, DCI na IPOA.

Maandamano yalianza kwa amani katika Ishiara, Mbeere North, Embu County, siku ya Jumanne, Aprili 14, 2026, wakati wakazi walipinga huduma duni katika Hospitali ya Ishiara Level 4. Walalamika kukosekana kwa dawa, wafanyikazi wasitosha na miundombinu mbovu. Hali ilizidi ghasia baada ya polisi kujaribu kuwatawanya walalamishaji, na kutumia risasi za moja kwa moja, na kusababisha kifo cha wawili na majeraha kwa wengine kadhaa.

Wakazi wenye hasira walibeba miili ya wahasiriwa na kuyatupa nje ya Kituo cha Polisi cha Ishiara. NPS imethibitisha kuwa IG-NPS ameamuru kurudishwa mara moja kwa OCS na kuhamishwa kwa maafisa waliokaa muda mrefu ili kutoa nafasi kwa uchunguzi wa haki na uwazi. NPS imesema walalamishaji walishambulia maafisa kwa silaha za mkono.

"Further, and to allow for fair, transparent and impartial investigations, the Inspector General National Police Service (IG-NPS) has directed for the immediate recall of the Officer Commanding Station for the affected area," NPS ilisema katika taarifa. Wakaguzi wa DCI na IPOA wamepelekwa eneo la tukio. Kamishna wa Kaunti ya Embu Nalyanya Wanyonyi alisema maafisa waliotumia risasi watachunguzwa na IPOA.

Gavana Cecily Mbarire alilaani matumizi ya risasi dhidi ya walalamishaji wasio na silaha. "I strongly condemn the use of excessive force, including live ammunition against unarmed demonstrators. Such actions are disproportionate and unacceptable," alisema. Kaunti imefanya mikutano Aprili 7 na 8 kushughulikia malalamiko, ikijumuisha kusafisha na marekebisho ya miundombinu. NPS inaomba taarifa kutoka kwa umma na kuahidi uwajibikaji.
