The government has been ardent on reforming the working conditions of police officers in up-to-date years. The officers are now rightly enumerated than in the past but claims of corruption only seem to intensify.

Kenyan police are innately corrupt; so corrupt that you have to bribe the boys in blue to be assisted or to avoid being locked up. Police asking for ‘facilitation’ to investigate a crime is still reported as cases of extrajudicial killings continue unabated. This bad manners still persists even after the government increased their salaries. Simply put, it’s in their DNA.
