In the case of baby Pendo, IPOA recommended disciplinary action against Kisumu county commander Titus, OCPD Kisumu East Chrisopher Mutune, DAPC Kisumu Central Benjamin Koima and OCS Kisumu Central John Thiringi.
"The National Police Service Commission should institute disciplinary proceedings against the commanders in question for being negligent .... and particularly for failing to coordinate the police operation in question, thereby making it difficult for the identity of the police officers who committed criminal acts to be known and ultimately impending IPOA's investigation," read part of the report.
As for the late Moraa, IPOA said they were not able to identify those who killed the eight-year-old girl.
"Consequently, we could not recommend any charges concerning the said incident against any of the police officers involved in the operation in question," read part of the IPOA report.
