What caught my attention in this story was this quote Mombasa county CID boss Henry Ondiek said Hussein has showed a rare gesture of honesty and integrity.This should not be rare. It should be the norm and corrupt police rare. The other cops who take jaggernauts 200bob are not cops but thugs in blue uniform. I'm very excited. Honest Kenyan Policemanhttp://www.nation.co.ke/...72/-/73dp2u/-/index.htmlJose: If I make it through this thug life, I'll see you one day. The Lord is the only way to stop the hurt.

I cry for my country. That such an obvious thing has made headline news. Just shows how low we have sunk in morals. He did well, but I wonder why as a society we should expect anythingless. In fact those makangas should have looked for the owner instead of fighting over it. That said, I can confirm good people still exist. Last year I forgot my ipad in a bus when on a journey to Mombasa. After everyone alighted, the driver was doing his usual checks after driving to the car wash and saw it. First he called his office manager to report and then he kept it safely with him. I realised I didn't have it after checking in at the hotel. I called the cab guy who had dropped me and he was shocked. He didn't think it was worth driving me back to check for it at the bus. I insisted. We went to the bus' main office. On narrating the story to the receptionist, she was also not sure I would get it ever again. She said previously, such lost items had never been recovered. However, the manager heard our discussion and to everyone's surprise, he said the driver had already called him about the iPad... It was a great moment when we drove to where the driver was and he handed over the iPad to me. I couldn't believe my eyes. He surprised me too. Ooh...all my presentations were in it. He saved me.

@alma, It was a good story to read until when i reached the point where the "hero cop" says that he had to bribe the thieves with100bob for them to hand over the stolen wallet to him. What kind of incompetence is this? I have never in my whole life ever heard of a situation where a cop has to bribe thieves for them to hand over stolen property. Law enforcement has really gone to the dogs in this country. That article has really shamed the police force.....they are no longer in control. Thieves are supposed to shiet in their pants when they see a law enforcement officer. That cop should be ashamed of himself. He is a disgrace to the force and should be fired ASAP!

At least those i bribe are much better since they never bribe offenders, rather they are tough and put you behind bars. The cop who arrested me for a traffic offense never asked for chai, rather it is me who begged him to take some chai so that i couldn't spend the night in prison and be fined 20k the following day. Infact he took my license and ordered me to follow him to the station but after some distance I pretended to be having a mechanical problem and when he came over to see what was happening, that's when I offered some chai. Thus if you aren't corrupt to offer a cop a bribe, they put you where you should be, in prison. But here is a useless officer who has to bribe criminals to retrieve stolen property.......he doesn't even make any effort of arresting and prosecuting the thieves! And he is regarded a hero and awarded Ksh40,000 for his cowardice and incompetence. Very sad situation.

If returning a stolen wallet is a rare show of honesty, what will they call it when police respond to your distress call when you are being robbed? Will they bribe the robbers not to kill you? Life is short. Live passionately.

That's damn crazy!! However, I think the policeman restrained himself not to shoot anyone in as much as he pointed the gun on the lady several times. Our policemen would have easily downed several guys within seconds. I say kudos to the policeman for trying to use other means to solve his issues and not shooting anyone. He really restrained himself despite; being a muslim in Lagos (I guess Lagos is predominately Christian, now add that to the religious conflicts in Nigeria to that.), with a gun, somebody daring him to shoot, being drunk , a policeman .... If it were in Kenya, we'd be counting a handful of bodies. NB: I do not support what he did.
