The National Police Service (NPS) has launched an investigation into allegations that police officers obstructed journalists from carrying out their duties. The claims surfaced after a photograph circulated widely on both mainstream and social media, sparking concern over press freedom in the country.

In an official statement, the NPS strongly condemned the alleged misconduct, stating that they take the matter seriously. “As a Service, we are gravely concerned and strongly condemn such misconduct. The circumstances surrounding the incident are currently under investigation,” the statement read.

The National Police Service emphasized its commitment to upholding media freedom and protecting journalists in Kenya, in line with constitutional and international standards. “The National Police Service maintains a cordial relationship with the media and is committed to safeguarding and promoting media freedom, as well as protecting journalists in Kenya,” the statement added.

The press statement, issued by Muchiri Nyaga, the NPS Director of Corporate Communication and Spokesperson, sought to reassure the public that any officer found guilty of misconduct would face consequences. “NPS wishes to reassure the public that firm and decisive action will be taken against any officer found to have engaged in misconduct,” the statement concluded.
