Of Incivility & immoral nature of Police

On the basis of the hunter becoming the hunted, innocent lives have been abused at the hands that were supposed to protect them.  Clearly defined in their line of duty, police have always had the responsibility of protecting the citizenry against danger and ensuring that there is law and order in the country as a whole. Members of public are encouraged to report mischievous cases taking place around their environment in the spirit of maintaining good governance and seeing to it that laws of the land are observed through community policing. On respond and acting in good faith, people in the society have heeded the call and cooperated extensively with the police in unearthing menacing ills that previously went unreported.

Cases of unethical habits have been on the rise in the community and a good percentage of those cases are brought forth by the people who have chosen to be responsible citizens and helping the society to learn to always consider correct ways of attaining service or goods. Instead of our Kenyan police to appreciate such feet, they have gone further to treat members of public unfairly and shamefully turned into rogue elements with both high handedness and promoting negative vices such as rape. Last week's incident where a police officer was involved in assaulting a lady was surely demeaning and rude way of administering duty. Police on patrol continuously abuses their code of conduct by mostly breaching ethics by attacking the victims instead of according them deserved protection.

These cases of uncivilised nature are seriously hurting people and casting a dark spell on the image of the police. They might easily trigger unruliness in the country supposing the citizenry became tired of their loathsome wayward behaviours. Reports of similar incidents are reported across the country prompting a relevant question of what happened to their morals or even perhaps the had none on the onset. This unfortunate arbitrary nature of executing duty is a senseless far fetched idea that ought to meet its demise on the crevices of good leadership and integrity. It adds no value on our administrations body to be looked at with raised eyebrows by members of public as that kind of coexistence only translates into an imminent danger that is looming in the air surreptitiously.
