Kenya needs to rid police service of rogue officers

NAIROBI: Inspector General of police Joseph Boinett has intimated the Police Service will carry out an internal audit to determine whether their ranks have been infiltrated by terrorists.

This comes after revelations that followed the Kapenguria police station hostage situation. Slightly over a week ago, police arrested a terror suspect and held him at the police cells awaiting interrogation. But as fate would have it, a sympathetic policeman attempted to forcibly free him from the cells. In the ensuing commotion, the policeman managed to kill six of his colleagues even as he himself lost his life.
