Kenyan Police Beat Pool-Playing Youths in CCTV Video, Drawing Condemnation

Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei condemned the attack as a violation of Kenya's Constitution, demanding suspensions, an IPOA probe, and Senate review, while MP Babu Owino called for the officers' arrest. As public anger builds over the unprovoked brutality amid Kenya's ongoing concerns about police accountability, authorities have yet to respond.
