Are police officers some of the richest public servants in Kenya today? This was the question on the lips of many as vetting of police officers got underway in Kisumu. It emerged from the outcome of the first week of vetting that senior police officers have fat bank accounts, with many citing farming and merry go rounds as the source of their wealth.
The vetting has revealed massive mobile money transfers from junior to senior officers, a situation which the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) suspects could be corruption along the chain of command.
