NAROK COUNTY: Four Administration Police (AP) officers in the Mara region of Narok County have rescued 273 pupils this year from forced marriages and moranism, an undertaking that is winning them accolades.

The APs' work has helped residents in the region change their perception of a police force whose name has over the years been synonymous with harassing and extorting the public.
