Methinks it for purposes of ease in mobilizing in case of emergency situations and the need to secure the stations where armories exist my 2 cents imagine with the Nairobi traffic if you gave the guys at central police house allowance - how much rent? tell me wataishi wapi Nairobi hii and all the jam
Think logistics
When UoN students riot how do you get the police to respond from Sijui Kayole or Rongai
I thinks its a throw back to the colonial days, the cops can live elsewhere and report to the station during their shifts - just as is the case now, the ones who protect the station are the ones on duty, since the ones off duty are not required to stick in the station.
plus I think it would improve security, imagine having one of the cops as your neighbour, hata wezi wataogopa.
