Firing ALL policemen in Kenya and hiring new ones would be extreme but guess what, I TOTALLY AGREE!!! Nothing short of EXTREME will remedy the situation we find ourselves in.
When Kibaki came to power, I was so sure that a vast majority of the policemen would be shown the door but as it turned out, the optimism we all had was totally misplaced. Do you remember members of public arresting police officers who were asking for bribes? We were so convinced we had turned a corner... but alas!!! Same old $#!&, just a different toilet!
People in certain quarters are afraid that if the policemen are fired, they will become criminals. News flash! They ARE criminals!!! With a proper plan and structure, we can pull this off. We should assume that the worst case scenario will happen and plan for it. We are good at changing laws/the constitution with a predetermined goal/plan. How about changing the law to require that every police officer fired in the next five years will be required to wear an ankle bracelet. That ought to help us trace their movements! Radical solutions to deep rooted problems.
