Bungei Testifies in Rex Case

Former Nairobi Regional Commander Adamson Bungei has denied any involvement in the alleged police killings that occurred during the Gen Z protests on July 20, 2025 .
Bungei insisted that no gunfire took place on that night.

Bungei highlighted that it is not only police officers who have access to firearms, adding that police personnel from various units were deployed on the day of the incident. However, he stated that he could not provide details to the court regarding how the officers were assigned duties during patrols on that day.

"I cannot provide details there was none I say this because that was a reaction response,"Bungei said.

Bungei noted that there was a multi agency deployed in town adding that he did not have much report on the death of Rex.

As the officer in charge of overseeing security and law enforcement in the region, Bungei claimed he was unaware of whether Rex Masai sustained any injuries and, if he did, he could not confirm whether the injuries resulted from a gunshot.

"I'm not aware that the excessive bleeding was due to the wound by a bullet," court heard.

Bungei was testifying in court to help establish who was responsible for the death of Rex Masai during the Gen Z protests last year. He also noted that the police department had no prior knowledge of the protests and only became aware of them through social media.

Bungei's testimony has left gaps in understanding the events of that night, particularly regarding the deployment of officers and the nature of the injuries sustained by the deceased.

The inquest aims to uncover the truth behind Rex Masai's death.
