@Alex, @Dennis, That's a very shortsighted argument/justification and is hard to believe coming from you. There are so many graduates in the Police Force, besides some very bright minds who, despite having reached only Kenya Junior or KCE or KCSE, are very well informed, even more than most graduates. Being a graduate in Kenya (and even recently in the US) have been discovered to be nothing more than "mwakenya", so you guys are not going to convince me that the solutions to the improvements required in the Police Force will be the employment of graduates into their ranks. Let me dwell on the main issue though - procurement of fake equipment. You all will agree with me that in procurement, be it public or security(military, etc) there are always vested interests angling for what they see as the low-hanging fruit (for lack of a better word to describe that) and who are the ones who end up deciding how the tenders are won. I can tell you that this happens more outside the institutions of security than inside. Only a few "inside" collaborators do end up knowing what is going on in the procurement process. When the Police Force buys such a large arsenal of equipment, nothing stops these merchants of deceit from supplying a few genuine test units and containers of fake! You guys know how it goes.... Let's not blame the fiasco on education standards within the ranks. It's just to far from it. On 28 April 2013 11:59, Alex Ngatia <alex.ngatia@gmail.com> wrote:
Dennis those are my sentiments exactly. That's why I stopped expecting any improvement in the police force until they up their standards

Remember policebrecruitment is pegged on scoring "D and above“ in National secondary examinations and your ability to outrun those who turn up for the mass recruitment.
