Wolves in sheep’s clothing

The National, Tuesday June 16th, 2015

 I WANT to tell the civil society of this nation that the people in blue are like wolves in sheep’s clothing. I am not tarnishing the discipline force that protects the lives and properties of this nation, but a handful of them are undisciplined. The assisting Australian police seem to understand the people’s everyday lives and solve problems without a cost and in an amicable way. However, our police make the victim pay before being able to lodge a complaint or before any action is done to arrest the culprit. In NCD during the day, police officers remove buai from all the markets, but at night, they ask money from sellers to transport buai to their destinations. I have seen a white five-door police vehicle parked in one of the area where sellers and buyers meet, where two officers in blue uniforms came out and charged K100 each for 100 buai bags. Just within an hour’s drive, they have made K10,000. Is the police top hierarchy aware of what their officers are doing to the very people they are supposed to protect? I am happy that Garry Baki is now mandated to manage the department. The ball is in his court to get rid of rogue cops.
