Kenya's traffic police a haven for impunity

It was disgusting watching traffic police officers struggle to put forward toddler-like lies about the sources of their large amounts of cash. A police constable transfers money equivalent to his three months’ salary on a daily basis to his seniors, something he cannot defend.

The only way to end corruption on Kenyan roads is to abolish arrest of traffic offenders except those who are a danger to other road users. I have heard many times the only argument traffic police know; ‘that the giver is also as guilty’!
