What do you expect of a force that deploys ten(1,2,3,4....10) traffic police boys to man Westland roundabout early in the morning even when the traffic lights are working perfectly. Jana I asked them why they are even stopping and releasing vehicles coz they were actually following the lights. When its red, they stop. When its green they release. Why do we need police to do that? Tena ten of them? So when its red, they all decend on the vehicles trying to look for makosa. I really dont understand how our security is managed.:)


Criteria is what is in it for me? Last week I saw one at westlands roundabout, he let cars from Waiyaki way go and suddenly spotted a pick up, saw an opportunity to eat and quickly stopped the cars from moving so that he could have a moment with the pickup. We are on our own.
Lord, thank you!

In similar cases to what @Magigi is saying, We usually hear the police giving crime reports on the areas you are likely to be attacked. They will tell us to avoid some areas, some of which are major roads, because we are likely to be attacked. Now I wonder, why call a press conference to tell thugs that you know the areas they operate in? Wont they just move to a different area? Why do I need to have such information myself if the police have the info? If the affected area is where I live, should I move? If I move, wont the thugs follow me? Instead of announcing where the thugs are operating, why not wipe them out silently?

...Atalaku bro @Washiku... Hayo ni maswali nyege sana, sorry, maswali nyeti sana. Some information is for internal consumption...


Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly At this rate you need to start looking for a new handle. You know why you are not using the other one. And now you want to throw this one into Limbo too.smile

...No problem, the other one is being released tomorrow!!!

This happens very often at that round about. Any slight spot of a pick up or a lorry means ignore the lights and stop every one. The other very irritating habit is when they decide to do "early morning operations" led by their seniors. So one will be given the responsibility of stopping all vehicles to create a jam as the others, about 30 of them, descends on vehicles looking for problems. A guy with a pea size brain ensures they create jam n make people get late for work so as to eat from Matatus, lorries n pick ups. Sometimes the jam created goes as back as James Gichuru junction.

As ive said in the thread on the likoni shooting, security is about surveilance and good record keeping because man in knwn to behave accordingly if they knw they are being watched. Its pointless to hv cops at the traffic lights if he cant follow a driver who has committed a traffic offense. Criminals hang out where they knw no one can track them or is that so hard to understand?
Anyone with the numbers of the crime levels in Nyeri ana Mks counties?

These so called operations are money minting exercises,they arrest all and sundry,then you buy your way out criminal or not.
Then they ask the same public to volunteer information,that is 50 years of policing in kenya!

Police crackdowns happen the world over (yes even in the good old US of A), a bit of research wouldn't hurt.
