Why do cops collect cash from pubs and Wines and Spirits shops daily

[johnpombe]

A guy who owns a wines and spirits shop hapa Nairobi tells me that each evening 6 different types of cops visit his shop and on each visit they pick 50bob. It means he spends 300 bob each day or 9,000 each month or 108,000 bob every year on cops.

Note that the cops visit all wines and spirits shops and pubs in the area every day. I understand kwa pubs they collect 200 Bob meaning apub has to pay over 400,000 Bob each year.
Is this extortion really fair to struggling businesses. I understand that if you refuse to pay you will be in big trouble.

Wakubwa are looking for campaign funds.

When you think of it, it makes you so disgusted and sadly there is no solution I can think of.

The police have a monopoly on violence and it's the biggest extortion ring.

someone said in another thread that some of the money is used in the day to day running of the police stations.

but why shouldn't the police take some bribes?
is the seller selling legit wines and spirits, has the necessary and valid documents, .....

i hope to see another thread about the kanjo, about the civil servants, about the "normal" business owners,.....
am sure we will soon come to a conclusion that we all take/give bribes one way or another and we are just hurt when the other takes more than us.

Civilians dont have guns and are unaware of the freedoms they should enjoy.. when one side is armed the other must suffer

The thing is, even if you have all the permits and licenses, police will still look for something to pin on you.

Ukipatia mmoja 50 bob, ataenda aambie mabeshte wake. Next thing you know, you have every police in your area coming to collect.

Ata matatus are other victims. Na pickups na lorries. On eastern bypass nowadays wamejiweka on two points, one just before GSU school, the other hukooooo kwa Kenyatta eucalyptus plantation. Wamevaa reflector jackets so you can't log their Identification numbers for complaints. Hao pamba collect munny like nanzenz. Naskia mkubwa wa traffic Njiru police division anakula msuli

Impunity...
Because they can get away with it.
If you don't "cooperate" they can pin 1,001 charges on you and you'll end up being so inconvinienced, utakuwa unawapigia simu waje kuchukua haki yao ya siku.
Utakuwa funzo kwa wengine wenye kunyeta na "Utumishi".
