The National Police Service has dismissed a report that ranked it as one of the worst performing in the world.
Speaking to the Nation on the phone, Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet said the group that spearheaded the report could not be trusted.
MISTRUSTED
“I don’t agree with the report because we even don’t know who the sources are. The owners cannot be trusted,” Mr Boinnet said on Sunday evening.
The 2016 World Internal Security and Police Index (Wispi) was released on Saturday by the International Police Science Association and the Institute for Economics and Peace.
It ranked Kenya at position 125 out of 127 countries.

According to Mr Boinnet, the Kenya police was doing well in dealing with security issues. He said some individuals might have been hired to taint the service’s image.
“The Kenya police service has been doing well in the recent past and the report does not reflect what is in the country,” he said.
The report ranked the Botswana police service as the best in Africa and at position 47 globally.
Rwanda was ranked the second best in Africa followed by Algeria, Senegal and Tunisia at 58, 68 and 72, respectively.
Singapore was placed top of the list as Finland, Denmark, Austria, Germany took the second, third, fourth and fifth positions, respectively.

Boinet is a gentleman. He knows well what he’s talking of. It is the system that is rotten and rogue politicians and criminals within the system are misusing the police force. Kenya has very good policemen that only need to be allowed and encouraged to follow and enforce the law.

KENYAN POLICE AND ARMED FORCES ARE NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF PROTECTING BLACK KENYANS, PARTICULARLY, THOSE WHO HAVE NO CONNECTION WITH THE RICH AND THE RULING ELITES!

There must be a good relationship between the police force and the communities they are trained to protect. There must not be an adversarial relationship between Kenyan citizens and the police force. The Kenyan Citizens must view police force as their protectors and not their oppressors!
AT THE MOMENT, KENYAN POLICE FORCE IS USED BY THE RULING ELITES AS ATTACK DOGS AGAINST CITIZENS!

The Kenya Police Service is rotten by any standards period. Boinett can deny till he runs out of breath but the facts are there for all to see. Recently the Eldoret Traffic Commandant inadvertently inquired of his junior how much he’d collected in two hours from matatus. The poor fellow had to admit he had accumulated 40000 shillings!
