- Towards democratic policing of the 2013 general elections in Kenya
-
Kenya's 2007 elections saw the country's worst election-related violence and resulted in sharp criticism of the police. In light of lessons from previous elections, this Policy Brief presents arguments for the adoption of guidelines for policing the March 2013 elections. It offers recommendations for measures that aim to enhance a democratic approach to policing the elections, in consideraton of the present challenge of low levels of public confidence in the police and the demands of the Constitution and other laws for police accountability and civilian oversight. The brief argues that the era of secretive, hostile and unaccountable policing is in the past and that the onus is now on the National Police Service to bring the institution in step with the demands of contemporary democratic policing.
