Killer Cops in Arshad Sharif Murder Case Return to Duty

Kenyan police officers involved in the killing of Pakistani journalist Arshad Sharif have quietly resumed their duties without any accountability, reveals Geo News investigation. Months after Sharif’s killing, the officers are back with full police perks, and some have even been promoted to senior ranks. Kenya’s Independent Policing and Oversight Authority (IPOA), tasked with investigating police conduct, has yet to make findings public despite promises of updates. The investigation into the journalist’s murder has stalled, raising concerns of lack of political will. Kenyan Human Rights Commission member Martin Mavenjina criticizes the police’s lack of interest in pursuing justice. The case has taken a cross-border dimension, with Sharif’s family instructing a former Islamabad High Court judge to pursue the case in Pakistan, alleging non-cooperation from Kenyan authorities.
