Abducting Kenyans is not law enforcement; it is State terrorism

Who gave the police the responsibility to abandon the criminal procedure as we know it? Who authorised the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to substitute the law with fear, procedure with brute force, and the Constitution with terror? In a functioning democracy, law enforcement follows the law. In a failing one, it manufactures its own law. Kenya today stands dangerously close to the latter. It used to be that when the police suspected someone of a crime, they issued a summon. The individual was asked to report to the nearest police station to record a statement.
