Crime, violent extremism, extrajudicial killings and political assassinations have been on the increase. All the 47 counties are affected and Kenyans are living in fear of being attacked by criminals, violent extremists, police and political mercenaries. Cases are rife of how terror suspects were allowed to pass through corrupt police officers and make their way to Kenya's interior. Besides criminals and violent extremists, the police too have now resorted to extrajudicial killings of suspects. The state must also urgently address the ever-rising numbers of extrajudicial killings and put a stop to politically motivated killings.
