KENYA RANKED THIRD LAST
IN THE WORLD IN TERMS OF SECURITY RESPONSE.
I am now vindicated, Kenya’s
police force deserve the exact position in which it is placed in international
ranking. How can a man who has been convicted for eight different criminal
charges under different names be on the loose enjoying utmost freedom? Nowadays
a man can emerge from the blues (wherever even in prison where he could have
broken off) and purport not only to be a state pilot but so many things.
What the hell is wrong with our criminal justice system a man
with eight different names or identifications is a serious threat to the
society. He might be having several aliases or names but am pretty confident
the fingerprints used in prosecuting this runaway villain are constant. The
names might vary but the finger prints are not likely to change. It does not
really make any sense for the police to go about business as usual when a man
who presumably they are hunting presents himself for a television interview and
not seek to arrest him.
I don’t know what has become of our police service; no wonder
we were ranked in a ridiculous position. There have been a lot of uproar and
positive criticism of the police service being infiltrated by outlawed criminal
outfits, which use this undue advantage to met violence on innocent dissenters
to the government. Why this is so is the biggest question we should be asking ourselves.
We might be having something terribly wrong, most probably the leadership of
the security organs.
It is sad that Uganda has better police service than Kenya
according to the international police and security index. Honestly Ugandan
police are better than Kenyan? I cannot agree less trying to flashback how the
police have been dealing with protesters. Kenya is only better than DRC and Nigeria.
This research was modeled to measure the security apparatus to respond to
internal security challenges.
Kenyans are not left behind either. How is that a whopping
77% of Kenyans testified of paying bribes to the police? Wait a minute, who is
to blame here? Obviously the police (the receiver of the bribe) must take the
full portion of the blame. They have undergone a training to refuse and
discourage bribes and strictly implement the law to the letter and spirit.
With 99 police officers for every 1000 Kenyans, the country
is still below par in terms of police civilian ratio. It might appear they are
overwhelmed but no! If it were so Uganda and other East African countries would
have not been better than us.
