Bodies were planted by the opposition members during anti-government rallies in order to accuse police of using excessive force, according to Kenya's Inspector General of Police, Japheth Koome.
"Our investigations have revealed that opposition leaders have engaged in a propaganda campaign to taint the image of the police service and to demoralize and intimidate our diligent police officers. However, none of their plans will succeed," the police chief has stated at the Kenya Police Training College in Kenya's Kiganjo city.
Koome, speaking to reporters, expressed worry that some horrific photographs and videos of bodies distributed on social media had been purposefully created by the opposition.
Certain morgue employees, according to Koome, have been engaged in creating similar incidents, reportedly accepting payment to make deceptive information that increases indignation in the public.
Raila Odinga, Kenya's opposition leader, denied the allegations, stating that "it is disappointing for Inspector General Koome to claim that opposition leaders hired dead bodies."
