Moses Kuria’s Caution to CS Murkomen After CCTV Directive
On Monday, June 16, Moses Kuria urged Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen to ensure that everyone involved in the killing of Albert Ojwang is held accountable.
Kuria praised the CS’s recent directive to install CCTV cameras in all police stations but pointed out a serious concern — in Ojwang’s case, the CCTV footage was tampered with.
He emphasized that failing to act against the officers responsible could make the government appear complicit in a possible cover-up.
“I fully support your move to install CCTV in all police stations,” Kuria posted on X. “Please also consider implementing Digital Occurrence Books (OBs). But in Ojwang’s case, the CCTV was functional — then later deleted. Don’t look the other way. That might make it seem like you’re protecting the killers. Do the right thing. Let the corrupt officers face justice.”

Albert Ojwang died while in custody at Central Police Station after being arrested in Homa Bay. Investigations revealed that CCTV footage from the night he died had been tampered with — a technician was reportedly called in to erase the recordings.
In response to the incident, CS Murkomen ordered that all 1,209 police stations in Kenya be equipped with CCTV cameras within two years. He also proposed tough penalties for officers who interfere with the recordings.
“All police stations will be fitted with CCTV within the next two years,” Murkomen said. “We’re preparing a proposal to Parliament to make it a criminal offense to tamper with CCTV footage.”
He added that the surveillance system will be managed by the Officer Commanding Station (OCS), who must ensure it is always operational. Any malfunction must be reported within an hour through proper channels. The system will also be protected against hacking from outside.
