We must go digital to tackle police corruption

The Kenya Police Service has continuously regained the title of the most corrupt    institution in Kenya as well as reaching the top ten bribery-prone institutions       within East Africa. The common form of police corruption is soliciting or          accepting bribes in exchange of not reporting, referring charges or suppressing      evidence in traffic, criminal or petty offenders

We have two classes of corrupt police officers that is the ‘meat eaters’, these are the characters that aggressively misuse their police powers for personal gains, and the ‘grass-eaters’ who simply accept the payoffs that the police work throw their way. ‘‘Meat eaters” always have target to meet in terms of the amount they need to make and mostly wear grim faces and are sometimes very irritant to deal with, while ‘grass-eaters’ are satisfied with whatever amount that comes their way many a times with a smiling face.
