Don’t transfer rogue police officers, sack them

What you need to know:

  • Crooks in uniform have no place in the service, whose responsibility is to ensure that justice is done.
  • The only problem is that deploying the culprits to other stations is tantamount to transferring a problem elsewhere.
  • They should have been suspended and then charged over the wrongdoing.

The National Police Service (NPS) has, in an unprecedented move, transferred all the officers from a police station in Murang’a County, following serious complaints by locals.

The swift action by the NPS is commendable, as it took just two weeks to investigate and confirm the allegations of wrongdoing by the officers.
