EX-COPS TURNING TO CRIME IS A DELIBERATE ACTION BY THE GOVERNMENT The Police have threatened they intend to start tracking down and profiling all former officers who either resigned or were dismissed from the force. I didn’t know we have so many idle officers to run around after ex- cops with clipboards. Call it what you want but I call it shitting in your plate then complaining that the food tastes and smells awful. The Police Force is the worst mismanaged employer in the entire Kenyan Government. Labor rights there are unheard of and demanding them will get you in hot water. Most of the senior officers today were hired in past regimes when education was merely an added advantage. Importance was given to who you know, how much you have, your running ability, flat soles, straight arms, no marks and a full set of teeth. Promotion could always be bought, indiscriminately given or awarded by ones ability to march. As a result, today we have grey haired neanderthals who run the national security organs like their bedrooms. Senior officers rape all labor laws as a means to intimidate their juniors. Newly posted heads are known to sack several juniors so as to be ‘felt’ and feared. The Kenya Police Force is notable for sackings at the whim of power-hungry bosses with disregard for the rule of law. Many have been sacked from the Force for petty allegations that would do with warnings and lesser punishments. This stinks of impunity and gross abuse of power. Your guess is as good as mine where these disgruntled ex- officers go. Woe unto you if you have no ‘godfather’ because your Appeal Letter will gather dust at Police Headquarters for years. I see no reason as to why an appeal should be pending for more than 12 months. But they take years if you know somebody, decades if you know nobody. Meanwhile the officers assigned to the disciplinary board continue drawing a salary for doing nothing. Yet some former officers are willing to rejoin the Force and exercise what they learn at Police college in a positive way. Drafters of the law were not mad when they put the following as appropriate punishments:
a) Reprimand,
b) Suspension,
c) An order of restitution, d)
Stoppage of salary increment,
e) Reduction in rank, f) Dismissal from the service,
g) Combination of the above.
We even have fines, extra training (refresher), extra duties, interdictions, suspension and removal. Before awarding sentence one must consider the record of the accused, trivial nature of the offence and extenuating circumstances under which the offence was committed. The Constitution allows an accused person to the benefit of the LEAST severe of the prescribed punishments. But in the Police, if you know nobody, you get the harshest sentence even on your first accusation. You get dismissed without prior bad record. Has it solved anything? It simply transfers the problem to society then police bosses start crying that crime is on the increase and they will run around like headless chicken wondering what went wrong. Dismissals ought to be the very last resort but even then, after following the laid down legal procedures. Not settling grudges and vendetta. A weird case is of officers who were sacked for seeking education. They got permission from Headquarters to pursue degree courses but weeks to the final exams, they got transferred to disrupt their education. Upon protesting the transfers, they got sacked. Why? Did some seniors feel threatened by the degrees? The Government spends alot of taxpayers’ money to train an officer. They even pay and feed recruits who are undergoing training. Then absorb them directly into the workforce immediately upon completion of their courses and leaving college. Sadly, senior police officers abuse the Dismissal option in the name of punishments. It is a way of settling grudges. An open cheque to be misused at the slightest whim of a powerhungry brute. And the most abused is an ambigous clause where one is charged with the ‘offence’ of ‘being guilty’ of an act, conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline. If the offence already says I am guilty, what is the point of the proceedings? This is merely a formality to pass an afore- planned sentence. A boss who wants to snatch your girlfriend can invoke this stupid clause and dismiss you. One gets dismissed because of petty allegations and his appeal letter is hidden until he bribes. Where in the public sector can he get a decent job that involves weaponry, crime investigations, traffic control etc? The difference between police college and other learning institutions is that it is seamless. We have a smooth transition from unemployment, college and employment. Therefore if you went to this college, every potential employer knows you worked as a cop and will thus demand to know why you left. Sadly, in their grudges, the bosses write such damning Dismissal Letters to ensure that you don’t get employed anywhere. Where do these officers go?
Kenya
is loosing its heritage to foreigners pretty fast but little is being
done to fix the rot. We are heading in a pretty dangerous zone where
Kenyans shall only be remembered in history books like the Aborigines of
Australia and Red Indians of United States of America.
I
admire the rule of law on land ownership as its is perfectly
implemented/executed in Tanzania. Tanzania has indeed guarded its people
and their heritage by rule of law.
It' s not only Nairobi City
County which has been taken over by foreigners purse on land ownership.
Almost every county H/Q in Kenya is at risk of loosing out to
foreigners regarding land ownership due to love of money and ignorance
of law. I cant hold my tears to learn that, due to foreigners invasion
in Mbale, the H/Q of Vihiga County, no local can afford a piece of land
there now. What about other parts of Kenya?
Like in Machakos
County of Kenya which is now loosing its heritage to foreigners for free
or cheaply, the future generation in Kenya will judge the current
generation harshly. Who is sleeping on the job?
Whoever thinks that Senator Keter is speaking for himself should better
think again. Keter's mind is exactly Ruto's mind and whatever he says
must have already been discussed well in advance by him and Ruto and a
decision made on who was going to pass across the message to the Media.
Our moles have driven into continental and found a host of Kalenjin drivers at the
parking lot waiting for their MP boses. I closed the door but dint
leave the car ..................Loool. from what I gathered from the
conversation,....Kumbe wabunge wakale already have been having series of
secret meetings in the last month duscusing strategies on how to contain what the drivers say are " GREEDY SELFISH GOVERNMENT PARTNERS"
Right now as we speak, 15 kalenjin Mpigs/Senators are meeting in a
secret location to discuss the Tribal Appointments by Uhuru when Ruto
was absent and also to discuss Uhuru's role in Ruto's presence at the
ICC now because it has come out that Uhuru and his people are secretly
working behind the scenes to make Ruto be the sacrificial lamb and him,
Uhuru to be exonerated.
Uhuru
should be advised to keep off Musalia Mudavadi and Gideon Moi if at all he still needs Ruto's
support. Immediately he is seen accommodating this Son of Mudamba, the
more URP becomes rebellious within his government.I have gatherd that there is lots of miss-trust among these people and now that Senator keter already broke the ice,
wait until senator Kareke Mbuiki fires back..
