The list of grievances against the police by the public is long. From harassment to bribery, theft to collusion with criminals and extortion, the police inspire very little confidence.
In August last year, three police officers attached to the Nakuru Police Station were charged in a Kericho court with abduction and extortion after they allegedly kidnapped a motorist and demanded ransom. Two others were expected in court later for allegedly releasing a robbery suspect unprocedurally and sharing the loot with him.
