Journalists in Kisumu have demonstrated against police brutality meted out to their colleagues in other parts of the country.
The scribes who carried placards marched along the Oginga Odinga highway and later presented a petition to the Kisumu Central Sub-County Police Commander Peter Mulai.
Mulai assured the scribes that he would always support them when the need arose.
He said the relationship between the media and the police has been very cordial.
