Babu Owino has openly criticized the police, saying they have big problems and cannot beat the people of Kenya.Speaking during a public gathering, he said the officers sent to some places act as if they are fighting enemies.
But really they are just dealing with ordinary citizens who only want their rights respected and treated fairly.Owino said the way police behave in some areas is very worrying.
He said they are too aggressive, using too much force when it is not needed at all. He added that the police forget that their main job is to protect the people, not to scare them or hit them.
He warned that if this continues, citizens will not just watch quietly. People will stand up and resist because they are tired of being treated badly.
The legislator said clearly that these police officers “have problems,” meaning they are not doing their jobs the right way.He said even if the police are many, or have strong equipment, they cannot win against the unity and power of the Kenyan people.
Owino said citizens now know their rights, and they will not allow a few armed officers to push them around or intimidate them.He also said that sending police with the wrong attitude makes everything worse.
Instead of keeping peace, the police sometimes make tension bigger. He said the officers act like everyone is an enemy, and that is very dangerous.
Owino warned that this kind of approach will backfire and cause trouble for the police themselves.Even though he criticized the police strongly, Owino told the people not to cause violence.
He said citizens must stay calm and peaceful, but at the same time stand strong and demand their rights. He reminded people that the best way to deal with harsh police is to stay united, calm, and firm.
Many people in the crowd were cheering and nodding as Owino spoke. They showed that they agreed with him and also feel frustrated with police behavior.
His words are now being talked about widely, and people are thinking about how police should treat citizens properly.
Owino ended by saying that no group of police, no matter how strong or well-equipped, can beat people who are united and aware of their rights.
He warned that if the police do not change the way they act, they will keep facing pushback from themselves.
