Such a herculean effort is required to stand up against these actions used to extract bribes from citizens. The policeman's hunger retaliates with rage; the innocent citizen must weather blows, waste money and time in the pursuit of justice

1. Confiscation of driving licences when motorists commit minor traffic offences.
2. Ordering innocent commuters out of Public Service Vehicles (PSVs).
3. Smashing the windscreens of vehicles.
4. Towing away your vehicle and forcing you to pay towing charges.

5. Arresting patrons consuming alcohol in unlicensed bar
6. Arrest without being informed why you are being detained.
7. Denial of access to family members and medical services.
8. Being held in a police station for more than a day.
9. Held in custody as police conduct investigations

10. Incarceration for minor offenses.
11. Physically or psychologically torturing suspects
12. Searching your home without a warrant

It's only the ignorant who allow themselves to be victims. Kenyans need to read and understand the laws of the land and their rights

I remember being flagged down hapo Naivasha for overspeeding. The cop said I was doing 120km/hr...instead of the required 100km/hr, and the penalty for each additional km is sh10,000. You can imagine the argument that ensued after I multiplied sh10,000 by 20.

I see this everywhere.Tolerating upuzi and poor service because'you don't want trouble'.
Then don't complain from under your warm blankets cz you are the reason things don't change.

I read an article online of that building caretaker whose mobile phones have been confiscated by the police ostensibly because he had the 'audacity' to demand rent from his tenants, the police. Hiyo ni sheria gani?

The problem is the judicially,if say all the magistrates will give a warning to all minor offenders in the first instance and a minimal fine for a second offense and maximum for repeated offense, then all this nonsense will end and Mutunga and his boys/girls wont be complaining of case burden and Police will look for real work to do!

I hate commenting on this since I will be called Kiash Rollout Part B. But the truth is our judiciary is made up of people who think they are special.

So when you go a magistrate, the man/woman is busy scrolling jibberish on a piece of paper never once looking up.

He listens to the prosecutor then in a voice trying to emulate the Jesus movies of the 70's declares "nimekupata na hatia!!!!!!"

He/she has not once looked up to even look at your face to notice that you are holding a Bible and have a collar and the charge of smoking bhang in church is ridiculous.

Just go to traffic court and witness the circus of the Kenyan Judiciary and Justice system. 300 men and women are brought in at 8am

The case is heard at 2pm as people are sweating and trying to borrow cell phones,swap dead batteries from each other in order to get the 500 bob to pay the obvious fine.

At 2pm he/she tells you all to stand and asks a question

"Are you guilty or not guilty?"

"Guilty!" retort 300 men and women who's life was just wasted in order to pay this woman 500 bob.

The next 2 hours is spent trying to negotiate with the cop at the door to pay your fine. Ikifika 5pm you go to Industrial Area to be raped because you didn't wear a bloody seat belt in a car that did not have a bloody seat belt, the owner of whom is not in court having bribed the bloody cop at 8am.

That is the justice system in Kenya.

Mutunga has really changed Kenya. All he had to do was wear an earing, fire Shollei and have 1000 traffic offenders and bridge heparas pay 500 bob in fines.

In the meantime, last night my neighbours 2 sons were car jacked right at their doorstep.

Kenya the country of Justice.
