Hahahaha.


At Equity you find a different game.

Those 2 people (man and wiman) who seem to know you.In that one second chat you loose your senses and with it your money goes.

Solution:-is cashless solutions.Cards, Internet and mobile banking .etc.

And it happens in several banks not just Barclays esp banks along Msa road.

Not Just Barclays but also KCB; Stanchart, Cooprative Bank and I think soon Chase bank and DTB

Something very fishy is going on at Kasarani police station. So, after reporting at Rúirú (which is where he was dumped) my pal was referred to Kasarani police station who were supposed to investigate since he was picked up in their jurisdiction. Funny thing is (ok, not so funny), cops there have an accurate description of at least two of the suspects. Yaani unaenda kupiga ripoti na karao ndiye anakupa a description of the suspect. Downright eery.

Back at TRM, the bank manager was very reluctant to assist their client in any way. Only when he threatened to make some noise through the media did they finally refer him to their own internal investigative officer who has been most helpful so far.

Meanwhile, at the police station, my pal has been tossed from one office to another and it is becoming apparent that the junior officers are afraid of something, perhaps the alleged criminals (or at least one of them) are their colleagues or someone senior is protecting them.

In the intervening period, one afternoon some time last week as he's heading home, my pal notices a certain Honda station wagon strategically parked outside TRM with all windows rolled down. Just out of curiosity, he looks in and guess who he sees? The exact same guys who addicted and stole from him. He's absolutely sure he can identify at least three of the four occupants.

A few phone calls later to some friendly cops from a different station comes back the message: 'hiyo gari ni ya polisi'. Apparently, an unmarked police car.

Really? Then we are royally screwed!!

Hope the incoming OCPD will sort out these messy Cops.

Francis Kipketer who has been the Makindu OCPD is the new OCPD Kasarani

That is not happening anytime soon, firstly because the monies earned from these nefarious activities goes way, way, way up ....if you know what I mean.

No one up there wants to disturb the gravy train.

What you see as 'operations' 'stings' etc are just for public consumption....Hell!!! even wananchi cant let anti-corruption guys have their way with wayward cops....its now acceptable that the policeman has to be facilitated to allow certain activities to go unabated....just how it is bro!!!

Its going to take a whole lot more than just transfers to clean up the mess, it reeks from the core.....reminds me of the 70s,80s, you will need to know someone who knows someone in vigilance house for a cop to get out of his comfort zone and show interest in your case.

Sad.

brutal!

@Simonkabz, I understand your exasperation with non-performing officers. I've had more than my fair share of experiences with them too. But I have a problem with this issue of 'transfer to a hardship area' as a form of punishment. If I may ask, when and where was it decided that those of our fellow citizens in hardship areas do not deserve good, performing security officers?

Secondly, the nature of our country is such that a significant number of our 'hardship areas' are those that border our neighbors. Don't you think that transferring a non-performing officer from, say, Nairobi to Mandera for instance is in fact more dangerous for us? In this era of int'l terrorism, it is in some of these remote outposts that we actually require the best of our officers, committed to duty and incorruptible. That way, they will not be swayed to look the other way and let a criminal get in freely at the border only for the same criminal to unleash mayhem in Nairobi.

Personally I believe there's no need to transfer a non-performing officer. Simply sack them waende nyumbani and give an opportunity to other Kenyans willing to do the job as it should be done. Merely taking him/her from one place to another is simply transferring incompetence from one place to another without necessarily improving job performance. Incidentally, this is the exact same issue that has so messed our civil service.
