Then how can the police force be reformed surely this guys are just too much...

if of course we cant end corruption and this 'modo wa nyoba' of before i was kenyan,i was a nilote/bantu/semite then kyuk/lou/kale/somali nonsense then there is nothing we can do,of course which is propagated and encouraged by our leaders if at all you can notice how we have been united in times of tragedy only to fall into this batshit insane cocoons during elections....gichangi must go though and the whole old school NSIS....moha and namu have cleArly shown they are better than this whole multi-million funded agency.

I find it rather appalling that we are quick to critic our police force, even go so far as comparing them to firearm holders that went in to rescue people.

First, I'm of the opinion that said firearm holders had training, some extensive training. Didn't we have an SAS officer etc? We can't be overtly judgmental on our officers, who might not have been trained for anything remotely close to that.

And second, those who are familiar with red tape and chains of command would understand the coppers need for guidance/intelligence before doing anything rush. We already have incidences of someone saying that coppers might have shot her husband.

Third is the corruption aspect. I don't think reforms is the way to go. Those who've traveled to developed countries will tell you how challenging it is to bribe a cop. Why? Their standard of living is good. If I was to give a suggestion, it would be directed to prisoners. Work those prisoners. From the quarry to building lavish houses for our coppers. Tired prisoners will also reduce the spread of HIV in prison.

Thereafter, let there be incentives. The lowest paid copper should be able to comfortably buy his own car, take his kids to decent schools etc. Make being a law enforcement officer so attractive that one would not want to jeopardies the perks that come with it. That will be a good beginning to stamping out corruption in the force.

Urgently close down ALL the refugee camps in northern Kenya. Let UNHCRassist them from within their own country. Those camps have been fertile recruitment grounds.

Lean really hard on those easich fellows to reveal the bad apples in their midst. Close down their businesses if we must if that's what it'll take to get the info.

Stop dilly-dallying and shuffling around officers who don't perform, simply sack them. I know a fellow, quite senior in the provincial admin. Every single station he has served in, he has had to be transferred due to his connivance in allowing immigrants from Somalia, his most recent posting having been Garissa. Why we keep transferring such an officer around beats me. Simply sack the damn fool and take him to court to answer for his misdeeds.

Endeleza mjadala...

I'm of the opinion that refugees are much as victims as we are. They who would much rather flee than bandwagon with terrorists. Take for instance PEV, or the Ugandan Kony. Kenyans, victims, chose to flee. Picture yourself fleeing, then having your host(in your suggestion) sending you back to die?

Let's resort to decisions free from emotions. Decisions that we can live with in years to come.
