This is exactly what I am saying. Have I mentioned thermal detectors?
And in any case there are police choppers equipped with thermal detectors that the government can afford. And one or two choppers for the whole country would be better than nothing. Surveillance for less than a week would show which part of Boni forest the Al Shabaab are holed in and this pang'ang'a of how expansive the forest is would end pap!!!
People should stop being apologists for the government. If the government is doing a crappy job is a certain area, let's say it openly. If they are doing a wonderful job in another area, the same! We say so!
I agree with your tirade - however I am not on the gava's side - I am just spelling it out to you and anyone else who seems not to understand.... nyinyi ni 3rd world country! I remember some other thread talking about having sijui money for football, money for Sumo wrestling e.t.c. We have fundermental things that are wrong with this country... are we better than where we were - I say yes... are we in a position to BE ALL THAT WE CAN BE - NO! hell no! it's not just the police, it's our hospitals, it's our roads! for me the welfare of the police is not a priority! They signed up for that! it's like going to a boarding school where everyone tells you u will shower with cold water and then you start making noise about the cold water and the way it causes you to have asthma! (is this an appropriate place to use CORD's line "choices have consequences"?). I would ask gava to remain unmoved! and focus on health issues - since no one signs up for cancer or some disease that would kill you for really flimsy reasons! Karaos wamejiweka on the line of fire and they have been trained to live under those conditions - hawa sio wa kwanza and will not be the last... They should man up! but wasijali...tutawasort before we decide we have enough money to sponsor cycling and winter sports!
True.
1.Kenyans join the police service to get bribed [thats why u wont get an ex policeman unless he was sacked or retired]
2.Kenya police is an individualistic force by design [during vetting the more millions stashed in your account the more admired and chances of going up the ladder in that service] check the recent transfers and you will understand the spokesman arrogance.
3.Individual effort by an officer is never recognized unless posthumous.
4.Since they don't work like KDF in well organized units focused on an issue/mission almost all in hardship/dangerous areas are there cause they don't have umbrellas, recruits or punishment.
5.Within the police service they have informal groupings geared towards self interest,this is more so in police stations where the OCS knows which officers are good in certain extortion missions, his is to provide cover.[did u see this in athi river including the OCPD/OCS and all come in defence of juniour officers,make a background check how they were posted there.
All said those officers at boni their goose is cooked to set an example to others like them,refer to number 4 above.
