Here is negative publicity police does not need

Talk is cheap, and even the best-laid plans can, and do often go awry. And this is to do with the inconsistency in the Kenya police force.

How can a department be saintly one week and completely unrecognisable in another? As Internal Security Minister George Saitoti says, not all serving officers are necessarily sane or even up to the task of being a law enforcement agent, but reports of a 40-year-old refugee being admitted to Ifo Refugee Hospital, after a reported gang rape by officers in uniform is a page straight out of a Stone Age horror.
