The International Commission of Jurists, ICJ Kenya, has warned of a growing threat of political goonism and hired violence ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The civil society organisation cautions that Kenya risks repeating patterns of political violence witnessed during previous election cycles, including the 2007 post-election violence.
ICJ Kenya says political violence is increasingly being facilitated through the exploitation of economically vulnerable youth.
The National Police Service says investigative agencies have formed a special task force to tackle the growing menace.
