Kenya Police Qualifications;
1. KCSE certificate with at least a mean grade D+.
2. 32 Teeth. No body scars.
3. Running skills. Recruitment happens in a running field.
4. Huge bribe to secure your position.
5. No self worth, your superiors can treat you like shit.
6. Be ready to live like an animal, sharing a single room 2-4 people without any privacy. The room can be a tent or structure made from iron sheets.
7. 6-9 months training. AFTER TRAINING YOU CAN CHEW BRIBE AND BECOME FAT, NO ONE CARES
8. You must become arrogant and behave like satan, an innocent citizen is guilty when you say he or she is guilty.
9. Expect your poor pay to be supplemented with bribes. Bribes are your right as a police officer and if anyone doesn't bribe you, treat them like shit just the way your boss treats you.
10. Serving citizens is a favour not a right.
12. Everyone is a suspect unless they're rich. The rich are forever innocent in police eyes since they can afford to bribe.
13. Despise anyone who you perceive to be poor, speaks to you with confidence or in English.
Add YOURS from your encounters with Kenya Police
PS: They're some great, amazing police officers who serve the citizens diligently but the majority treat us like slaves. Until the police become unionised, they will never be free. They're not allowed to go on strike and they have no one to fight for them. I have led a protest in support of the police in the past but more must be done to liberate the police. They need to recruit the best, tarin and pay them well, give them a fat housing allowance so they can live among the citizens and fire all the crooked officers. They're the majority and some sit at police headquarters where bribes collected from the smallest police post, must reach the big boys.
