When the police dismiss your complaint, you feel frustrated and helpless. But there's a faster, simpler way to get justice. Learn how Immani can help you file a dispute against the police's phone number.
You don't need a lawyer to get justice when the police don't take your complaint seriously — Immani lets you file a dispute against the police's phone number for KSh 100. The situation: you've been to the police station, reported a crime, and been dismissed or told to go to court. But you know you've done nothing wrong, and you want to hold the police accountable. The usual advice is to go to court, but that can take months and cost you a lot of money. Immani offers a faster, simpler alternative. Immani works like this: you open a dispute using the police's phone number, describing what happened. Both parties are notified immediately, and there's a short private window to respond and engage directly. If there's no response, the dispute becomes visible to anyone who looks up that phone number within Immani, which tends to prompt a reply. The dispute only closes when both sides confirm they've engaged and reached an understanding. Here's what happens next:
- You open a dispute on Immani using the police's phone number and describe what happened.
- The police are notified immediately, and you both have a short private window to respond and engage directly.
- If there's no response, the dispute becomes visible to anyone who looks up that phone number within Immani.

- You negotiate and agree on a resolution, which is then confirmed by both parties.
