kenya police

Hizo ndizo njaro zake. Wale karao wako in his good books hawasimamishi gari. On the off chance dere wake ana makosa it’s always a comedy watching them trying to call him ASAP. The first one whose call goes thru, pesa ni yake.

Divide and concur… .what a way to keep the system to play by his rules

The World Internal Security and Police Index (WISPI) should not be thought of as a measure of the level of ‘internal security’ at the country level. Rather, the Index aims to measure the ability of the security apparatus within a country to respond to internal security challenges, both now and in the future. For the purposes of the Index, ‘security apparatus’ predominantly refers to the police, although a number of indicators also touch upon the ability of the military, the judicial system, and the private sector to address internal security issues. This means that a country that currently does not have many internal security issues, or relies upon tacit rather than explicit enforcement, may have a worse rank than a country that has more issues but has also devoted more police resources to keeping them contained. The purpose of a composite index is to simplify a complex or abstract concept into a single quantitative measure (often with subcomponents) in order to compare performance across countries or states, and to track improvements or deteriorations over time. In order for an index to be useful, it must have a clear concept and a unit of account (for example, a country, state, or city) that will lead to meaningful comparisons.

Hope you can see even No 1 in the failed states list like DRC are doing just abit worse than us . Kenya is becoming a failed state.Just look at our bedfellows.

Sub-Saharan Africa is home to seven of the ten worst performing countries, with Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, and Uganda all being ranked in the bottom five. These four countries performed poorly across all four domains. Perhaps the most noticeable deficit in the poorly performing sub-Saharan African countries was on the capacity indicator. Sub-Saharan African countries have police officer, armed forces, and private security rates well below the global average, and an average prison occupancy rate of 166 per cent, well above the global average. However, there are some sub-Saharan African countries that perform well on the Index, most noticeably Botswana, which ranked 47th, and Rwanda, which ranked 50th. Both Botswana and Rwanda perform strongly on the process and legitimacy domains, with Botswana in particular having low levels of reported bribe payments to police, and high levels of confidence in police at the local level.

Hybrid regimes and authoritarian regimes had the greatest variance. Singapore, which is classified as a hybrid regime by the EIU, had the best overall Index score, with Georgia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Armenia also being ranked in the top 50 countries on the WISPI. [SIZE=5]However, a number of hybrid regimes are also ranked near the bottom of the Index, with Uganda and Kenya being ranked 124th and 125th respectively. On average, hybrid regimes had roughly the same capacity as authoritarian regimes, but had lower effectiveness, lower legitimacy, and worse internal security outcomes. [/SIZE]Authoritarian regimes in the Middle East and North Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region score better than authoritarian regimes in sub-Saharan Africa. The five worst performing authoritarian regimes are all located in sub-Saharan Africa.

Kenya was the third worst performing country on the WISPI, and one of six sub-Saharan countries to be ranked in the bottom ten countries. Kenya scored poorly across all four of the Index domains, but particularly poorly on the capacity and process domains, where it ranked last and third last, respectively. Kenya had a slightly better outcome score of 0.456, the highest of any country in the bottom five. Kenya had a relatively small police force, with 99 police officers per 100,000 people, compared to the Index average of 347 and the sub-Saharan Africa average of 268. It also had a small private security industry, with 136 private security employees per 100,000 people, which was less than half of the Index average of 330. Kenya had one of the smallest militaries on a per capita basis, with only 53 armed forces personnel per 100,000 people. The size of Kenya’s army has fallen dramatically over the last 20 years, as the rate was 106 in 1995. Kenya performed poorly on both the process and legitimacy domains. Seventyseven per cent of Kenyans reported paying bribes to the police, and only 0.11 per cent of instances of theft are reported to the police. In spite of these facts, confidence in the police at the local level remains relatively high, with 58 per cent of Kenyans expressing confidence in their local police. Corruption was high in Kenya, with the World Bank’s Control of Corruption indicator ranking Kenya 115th for general government corruption. Political terror has also been increasing in Kenya, as shown by its increase in Political Terror Scale score from two in 1989 to four in 2013. Despite performing poorly on the process and legitimacy domains, Kenya had a relatively good outcomes score, with Kenya having the best outcomes rank of any country in the bottom five. Kenya’s homicide rate of 6.4 per 100,000 people was lower than the Index average of 8.05, and well below the sub-Saharan Africa average of 11.53. Ten per cent of Kenyans reported being victims of an assault or mugging, far lower than the figure of 16 per cent in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and 19 per cent in Nigeria. 50- two per cent of Kenyans felt safe walking at night in their neighbourhoods or cities. However, Kenya has suffered from an increasing number of terrorist attacks in the last five years. In 2014, 291 people were killed in terrorist attacks, up from 19 in 2010.

The biggest problem with our police is the colonial system they work in. This system is still stuck in the past where it experiences difficulties dealing with modern criminals especially criminals who are very rich. Most of us assume D grade is the main reason why cops behave that way, but I believe its the system that is broken even if you hire ppl who got A they will still treat non elites badly because that is how they are trained and that they serve a broken system. In our system the rich elites are the new colonialist and the police are their personal mercenaries.

That’s what I love about Kenyan Police, hakuna mambo ya kusumbuana if you pay up.
