The civil organizations say what transpired in Kitale amounted to torture and those found culpable should be punished.
"The torture of an innocent man, who was accosted, beaten up with rungus, metal bars and dragged down on tarmac road daytime in the full glare of cameras amounts to an intention of killing of innocent members of the public. That was not law enforcement at all," said Kefa Were.
