Former Chief Justice David Maraga has given President William Ruto seven days to publish the full report of the National Taskforce on Police Reforms or risk releasing it himself. Maraga, who chaired the taskforce, claims the report was submitted to the President on November 16, 2023, and prepared at public expense, invoking Article 35 of the Constitution on access to information.

The report, which has remained unpublished for nearly three years, allegedly exposes political violence, goonism, partisan policing, and police brutality in various parts of Kenya. Maraga accuses the government of allowing the police service to be subjected to political influence and describes the situation as a result of "State Capture of the National Police Service."
