those DCIs ate my 50K even after losing 500k on an elaborate car theft ring. They arrested the guys, but I heard they ate a bigger cake from them. case been in court since 2014. I gave up on it. The thugs have never turned up in court after being released on cash bail

Your car was stolen or were you sold a stolen car. hekaya would help some of use here in future.

@Hot Chocolate!

This was a missed opportunity when Kibaki took over he should have disbanded the entire force and started afresh with a newly trained force .
Police should be recruited based on the same level of qualifications as other civil servants.

Why would he do that while he needed them in 2007 to kill the opposition

Remember we had this conversation when Boinet left, they will miss him. His cool calm demeanor hide his stronger qualities that were good management skills and team effort. He managed to put all his juniors with various egos, ambitions and grey areas to work well as a team. It probably helped a lot that UhuRuto and their senior staff then didn’t overeach but dealt directly with him. The current IG has his juniors running different departments as personal space, regional commissioners control police in their areas like their own properties and politicians giving commands all over.

I once sat down to drink with a few middle level cops during the 7pm curfew days. By midnight, they had received a total of 42k na Mpesa from people that wanted favours, mainly mtu wao ameshikwa. Hao watu wanakula mzuri sana from the rotten system. They will resist any attempt to reform.

Bought a stolen car, and funny thing, I did a search on it (the one you send someone inside KRA (my cousin) details of the car and they check in the system then give you the ownership details on phone). But, the details changed one week after buying the car and going to physically conduct the search. Apparently the con scheme was elaborate where they had some insiders temporarily change the ownership details and after the car is sold, they revert them back. We later found out the original ownership was in someone’s name and the original logbook was with a bank on a loan. Il tulipewa ilikuwa ya river road.

Cops are so brazenly corrupt that they will even accept bribes to their personal mpesa lines without worry. There would need to be a complete overhaul of the force and digitization of their records for any change to be felt. And even then a vast majority of them are so irredeemably corrupt that they would sabotage any attempt at real reforms. This country is just royally f*cked

[COLOR=rgb(40, 50, 78)]But if the deputy DCIO made certain the case was taken to court, don’t you think you should give credit where due rather than label the entire force as corrupt?

It’s a pitty sikuizi ukiibiwa ama kuporwa you can’t go to the police, cz you might end up spending more.surprisingly these cops are slaves to politicians. Huko wanafanyishwa kazi bila hata maji ya kunywa, but wakifika kwa maskini lazma utoe kitu

Kenya is seriously corrupt. Politicians, police all the way to the courts. Kidero with his briefcase of money comes to mind. I was just watching a docuseries on Netflix called trial by media and in one episode a governor who tried to sell Obama’s vacant senate seat was jailed for 14 years. I looked him up and saw that just in Illinois, 6 governors have been charged, with 4 being jailed. Over 52 politicians have been jailed in just that one state. Huku hata MCA kufungwa ni ngumu sana due to the rampant corruption.

There is nowhere I have labeled the deputy as corrupt. He did his job well. Actually in case tupate hii hela, I will personally thank him with a token for being bold. Alafu venue alijua the guy is a serial con pia ilichangia in hid decision

Those times before the digital transfer were bad. someone also tried to sell a car to me with a similar logbook. I noticed a patch of ink on the logbook. He also didn’t have his name on it but had the name of the company he purchased from. he also had a sales agreement. Search returned the company name. I just decided that I cant be sold a car by an official third party. nikapotea. Shida yake alikuwa na mdomo sana akaniambia biashara kama kumi anafanya nikaona red flags.

The system is rotten to the core. Justice in Kenya is on the auction block, only the man with the most money gets justice. We saw police spokesman Charles Owino and PS interior Karanja Kibicho shamelessly defending police brutality in front of TV cameras. The signs of the rot are everywhere.

@Mundu Mulosi

It will take 50 years to have any meaningful reforms in our police force.

It can be done in one stroke of the pen but the people unaffected by police brutality and corruption do not see the need. I can guarantee you that if police clobbered Uhuru’s nieces to death because of breaking the curfew there would be hell to pay.

Its now 2 months since my friend reported a guy who had defrauded him and many others. As I had stated in a thread here several weeks ago, he was forced to part with kshs 500 before the guy at the dci office in Nyeri could record his statement. After that, another officer came, and they listened to the story together. They demanded for 10k for them to go and arrest the fraudster. They argued that they will have to travel to kitengela where the crook stays and that the money my friend was claiming was huge. After negotiating with them, we settled at 6k. My friend sent them the cash 3 days afterwards. He kept pressuring them via the phone on their progress. After one and a half month of pushing them, my friend was taken to their boss, dcio to narrate the story and request for permission to use the dci car, a ford ranger pick up. The boss promised to offer the car the coming week. However, that did not happen coz the boss was not in the office the whole of that week. After almost 2 months had passed since the case was reported, the car was made available; me, my friend, driver, and two officers headed to kitengela to arrest the culprit. He had been tracked using a phone. On reaching kitengela, we first went to the police station to let them know that we are arresting a guy in their jurisdiction. We then headed to the con’s place. We were lucky that the ford ranger was moving at a terrific speed. Kumbe when we notified the area police about our mission, one spy that he had installed there informed him. Tulipata tu akiwa anataka kutoka gate akikimbia. we blocked his car and arrested him. We returned back to Nyeri with the guy after he refused to pay back the money ndio tumalize hio maneno. He had tried to trick my friend that waandikiane the time he will pay but tulikua tumeibiwa siri that once you make the agreement, he usually don’t honour them. So aliambiwa ni either alipe izo doh ama tuende mbele. We arrived in Nyeri about 9.oo pm at night. Sisi tuliacha tumeskizana na hao dci that we will go to the station early in the morning ndo apelekwe kortini the following day. Hatukufika kwa station juu our place is on the outskirts of the town, so we were dropped along the highway tukaingia kwetu wao wakasonga. Kumbe[SIZE=7] serikali ilipinduliwa[/SIZE] once tulishuka from the car!!! Asubuhi kukuja these officers started taking us round. Then wakaanza kutambia ati ni vizuri tuandikiane. Jamaa had promised them cash if they managed to convince us to let him go after a bogus agreement. We remembered the advice we had been given and refused. Tulisema ni either alipe pesa ama we proceed with the case. They were all compromised. Wakaanza kujifanya hawapati makaratasi ya statement. Mi nlijitoa polepole nkaenda hadi kwa ofisi ya deputy dcio. Nkamwambia watu wake hawataki kufanya kazi, akaniambia he also understands what has happened. Akaita mmoja an akaamuru they do as we wish. statement iliandikwa mbio na jamaa kwanza akanyimwa cash bail juu ilijulikana ni mkora Zaidi. Yaani he had managed to buy them off just like he had the whole of kitengela police in his pocket. He was charged today and given a huge bond that will make him feel the pinch. dci officers wanakuaga corrupt to the core. na wengi hawana hata nyama. unashindwa wanapeleka pesa wapi. na wana njaa ingine mbaya sana. maybe the guy had promised them about 2k. bure kabisa hao. Corruption will never end in kenya

Your story is a very scary one if that’s how deep corruption runs in the police fraternity. We are on our own! I applaud your persistence in pursuing justice. Honestly the entire time I was afraid for your life and safety because you don’t know what these criminals in uniform are capable of doing. Very, very sad rendition with a tinge of satisfaction at the end.

Mimi naona police ikue devolved. It will be bad at first but it will make people have more say over the police and over time improve it

I support that
