The family of a senior police officer who was killed in Nairobi earlier this month has accused the Government of abandoning their son during his burial held last Saturday in Imusutsu, Vihiga County.

They say the officer, who died while on duty, was not accorded proper last respects like other officers, and neither has the Government given any directions or explanations since his killing nor has it sent any representatives to the funeral.
