Interior Cabinet Secretary Raymond Omollo has told Kenyans to avoid casting aspersions on anyone even as investigations into the death of Albert Ojwang continues.

Omollo said with the probe ongoing, there was a need to allow the investigating bodies to do their work without any hindrances.

“We expect that any individual or officer who may have been involved will have to have their day in court,” he told the press outside parliament ahead of the 2025-26 Budget Reading.

Responding to some protests by some activists in Nairobi, the PS said while the constitution allows it, there was a need for it to be peaceful.

He said as a country they are fully committed to ensuring all those involved are brought to book.

“We have demonstrated that as a country that we are responsible and law-abiding, and as soon as those investigations are done, the public will get the full details of who may have been involved.

His remarks come following the mounting pressure by some leaders to have Deputy Inspector General of Police Eliud Lagat resign.

Lagat is said to have been the complainant in the case.

Inspector General Douglas Kanja, DCI boss Mohammed Amin and DIG Gilbert Masengeli appeared Thursday before the National Assembly’s committee on security.

The committee is set to table the report in parliament.
