Inspector General of Police Hilary Mutyambai directed the DCI to investigate the claims and report in seven days. In the report, victims of sexual violence said perpetrators included ordinary citizens, criminals but security agents allegedly committed 54 percent of the 201 cases recorded. The police rejected the report and urged anyone who had been sexually assaulted by an officer to report to its civilian oversight body. Most victims were women from low-income areas.
