I was deeply shocked and dismayed at the recent discovery of multiple bodies in the Kware area of Nairobi.

This gruesome revelation has not only shaken our community but also highlighted glaring deficiencies in our law enforcement and public safety systems.

The incident, where several bodies were found decomposing and wrapped in black polythene, is a stark reminder of the dark realities that still plague our society.

The fact that these heinous acts occurred so close to a police station raises alarming questions about the efficiency and vigilance of our police force. How could such a mass dumping of bodies go unnoticed by those who are sworn to protect us?

The Kenya Human Rights Commission and other civil society organisations have rightly called for a comprehensive investigation into this matter. It is imperative that we uncover the truth behind these brutal killings and bring the perpetrators to justice.

The Director of Public Prosecutions has ordered the Inspector-General of Police to conduct thorough investigations, but we need more than just directives. We need action.

We need to support the families of the victims, demand accountability and justice, and work towards creating a safer and more just society.
