As Kenya contemplates having thousands of police officers scouring the breath and length of the country without a pocket to put a handkerchief of spare magazine, there was a time society cared about crime busters.
The idea of having a police uniform without pockets is informed by the country's desire to minimise bribe-taking by officers. This has not always been the case. When a gang raided Kaptagat Forest Station, they had in their sights a Sh13,000 heist.
This, 54 years ago, was not a small sum, but the gang expected no resistance. They were however shocked when three rangers on duty mounted incredible defence of their station instead of taking off.
