Although the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has sustained the war against corruption in the National Police Service (NPS) making arrests, the action has failed to deter officers from soliciting bribes.

Yet, graft creates a fertile ground for insecurity to thrive since law breakers, criminals and organised gangs are aided in their illegal activities by officers willing to be compromised to look the other way.

Apart from causing deaths and costly injuries, insecurity undermines the existence of a conducive investment environment. Runaway crime discourages people or firms from investing and increases the cost of doing business either through hiring private security guards, installing alarm systems or building fences.
