Inspector General Japhet Koome on Tuesday broke silence over the anti-government protests which happened last month.
Speaking on Tuesday in Nyeri, he claimed that politicians hired bodies from the mortuary and claimed they were of people killed during the protests.
"It is so unfortunate that some senior members of the society go to the mortuary hiring dead bodies, calling the media and telling them that these people were killed by the police. How low can some of our leaders sink?' Koome posed.
This is the first time Koome is speaking on demos since they happened for three days last month.
Azimio leader Raila Odinga had claimed that at least 50 people have been killed since March when the opposition coalition announced the resumption of weekly mass protests against the government.
However, Interior PS Raymond Omollo in a statement said that one police officer was killed and 305 law enforcement officers seriously injured.
President William Ruto also said Kenya's security is not negotiable.
He instead told the Azimio leaders they owed Kenyans an apology over the protests that led to deaths and injuries.
"It is dishonest for the opposition to pretend to be concerned about the well-being of the people yet they led demonstrations that led to loss of lives and destruction of property," he said.
