2. All reserve (gishagi)police stations in Kenya look like that
3. Our policemen are not well trained, therefore incompetent, its been discussed here time and again.
4. From the expose life there must have been good at one time (am sure cops din't mind it)...till the shaitans showed up and everyone (DO, doctors KWS) ran away.
5. It is not true that we pay enough taxes only 40% of the adult population is gainfully employed and most of these people are on the lower bracket of taxation.
Going forward...
Nkaisseri's ministry can collect millions in fines that can be effectively used to fund the upgrading of the existing police/intelligence infrastructure. This can be done by though channeling Traffic violations fines towards this, the same way the road levy is used to build roads, have a law that would introduce annual state inspection of all cars. That's how those countries we admire do it.
This is the point i agree with. I had said the same before, its not very simple to put into place in Kenya but the way they have put it if you pay a fine, this money should be channelled back to the police especially improving their welfare and not salaries;
All said and done, that spokesman Owino guy could not even remove his kofia so as not to show how ashamed he was. But he is a good spokesman on his employer's view so the police force should get their own spokesman coz he does not speak for them.
One day they should take these tumbo bellied guys and take them to such places and it will be a free slimpossible.
