A police officer stationed in Shinyalu Police station in Kakamega County has surprised many after he conspired with other prisoners to commit an offence by sneaking out a female culprit.
According to sources, it is purported that the police officer took her out into his house where he forced himself on her during late night.
The female culprit in question though had reported the matter and was confessing to the situations that had happened to her with the male officer. She, however, decided to withdraw the case and forgave the officer under the condition that he should be interdicted following the massive gravity of the situation.
Disciplinary action was taken against the police officer serving as a lesson to other officers who were lawbreakers and also in a bid to clean the police service name.
This comes in a bid by many human right activists and Kenyans in a fight to solve the mud in the service where before the service has been viewed as a force where many Kenyans have suffered in the arms of various police officers. Many videos have surfaced around the media on even how the officers mishandle demonstrations where many people end up being hurt with even reports of death cases that are never solved and many others that are lost during the prosecution process.
Some also have been interdicted due to use of excessive force among innocent civilians. Others even have been seen taking bribes and harassing civilians. Others even go out of their way bragging about their positions and how untouchable they are.
All these cases illicit mixed reactions from Kenyans, the oversite board and even international bodies that keep overwatch.
This though is not to state that all of the police force is rotten as there are still officers with humanity that value their work and obey the law.
