The world’s attention amid COVID-19 shifted overnight to police brutality with #ICantBreath hashtag trending for days after the horrific killing of George Floyd. Floyd’s death is jarring reminder to all of us of the fragility of life of people who are poor, especially the blacks in America. But even with the President’s apology police brutality, especially in poor neighbourhoods continues unabated. Kenyans glorify police killings of suspects because they do not believe in the criminal justice system, killing the suspects to many is instant justice. We have to fix our justice systems, to ensure that both the poor and the rich can get the same justice.
