Walikuwa sehemu ya Kikosi Maalumu cha Upelelezi ambacho kilivunjwa na Rais William Ruto kwa madai ya kutekeleza mauaji ya kiholela na kutoweka kwa washukiwa kwa miaka kadhaa.

Miongoni mwa wanaodaiwa kuwa waathirika ni raia wawili wa India waliotoweka mwezi Julai na mabaki yao kugunduliwa wiki iliyopita katika msitu mmoja katikati mwa Kenya.

=======================

The members of the now disbanded Special Services Unit face multiple charges including murder, abuse of office and conspiracy to commit felonies. The unit was disbanded after the president received a police report on the disappearance of the two Indian nationals.

Zulfiqar Ahmad Khan and Mohamed Zaid Sami Kidwai were in Kenya to help the electoral campaign of Mr Ruto, but they went missing together with their local driver Nicodemus Mwania soon after being picked up by police in Nairobi.

Human Rights groups say their independent investigations have linked the squad and other police units to the death of more than 600 people over the past four years. Some of the bodies were later recovered in rivers in western and northern Kenya.

A coalition of international and local NGOs is now calling on the government to prosecute the rogue officers, and to compensate the victims of police excesses.
