SASA CHIEF NDIO KUSEMA...

[Meria]

Chiefs, their assistants and village elders may soon have sweeping powers over the operations of police officers within their jurisdiction if Parliament passes proposed amendments to the National Police Service Act.
In what looks like the reintroduction of the abolished provincial administration through the back-door, the bill proposes to give village elders, assistant chiefs, chiefs all the way to county and regional commanders, the powers to command and deploy police officers regardless of their ranks in service without necessarily getting the nod of the Inspector General (IG).
CIVIILIAN AUTHORITY
If the bill sails through in its current form, it will drastically dilute the independence of the office of the IG contrary to Article 245 (2) of the constitution and cause more confusion in the operations of the service.
Article 245 (2) provides that the IG shall exercise independent command over the National Police Service, and perform any other functions prescribed by national legislation

A very dangerous decision for a country riddled with tribalism, clanism and myriad corruption. These powers could be misused to wreak havoc on hapless innocent people.

I think its a good move, cheifs are more intune with grassroots activities.

Imagine yourself as a police commandant wa county upatane na chifu kama Marwa! wewe kwisa kabisa.

Then the chiefs have to be from the local community,otherwise kuniletea mpokot or whoever hapo kwetu na hajui tamaduni zetu italeta vita.I remember one of the thing that made Kales chapa Kyuks in Eldoret it was coz of that.They used to say wameletewa chifu wakikuyu ambao waliwagandamiza mbaya mbofu

In that case then the chief should be a police officer. Because hawa machifu wa siku hizi wengine ni waalimu and have no para military skills. How can someone command you na hana training yoyote relevant with being a member of the disciplined forces? Hata hivyo Meria has mentioned how unconstitutional it is. Wait for Okiya to go to Court.
