A string of fatal shootings linked to security officers guarding government-owned land in Trans Nzoia County has left families grieving, with local communities and human rights groups demanding justice, accountability and compensation for those affected, even as investigators probe the growing list of alleged extra-judicial killings stretching back several years.
The latest victim, Dennis Kwemoi, 40, from Kitalale, was shot dead at the Agricultural Development Corporation (ADC) Olng'atongo Farm in Endebess last week, adding to a troubling pattern of deaths that critics say has gone largely unpunished.
Grieving families from previous incidents involving National Police Reservists (NPRs), police officers and Kenya Forest Service (KFS) personnel have been pursuing justice through the courts, with the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) confirming that it is actively pursuing seven cases in court while another seven remain under investigation.
