They said in a joint statement they had"corroborated 12 killings in interviews with family members and witnesses," denouncing a lack of accountability. Kenya's police force is often accused by rights groups of using excessive force and carrying out unlawful killings, especially in poor neighbourhoods.
Kenya's parliament established the International Police Oversight Authority in 2011 to provide civilian scrutiny of a powerful institution also reputed to be among the country's most corrupt.
