Communication strategist Odhiambo Otieno has criticised the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) over its silence following the death of 19-year-old boda boda rider Eric Otieno.

Shortly after his release from Muthaiga Police Station, questions have emerged whether the police watchdog is carrying out its oversight mandate.

Speaking during an interview on Spice FM on Thursday, Otieno said IPOA should have addressed the matter by now, warning that continued silence encourages impunity within the police service.
