Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i, defended the Kenya Police Service against general accusations and negative publicity which resulted in an unpleasant perception towards the security forces.
On Thursday, 31 December, speaking during an interview with the Standard, Matiang’i stated that one action by a police officer often leads to the punishment of the entire police force.
“I think people are unfair to the police. Ninety-nine percent of our police officers are fantastic.
“We have one of the most disciplined police forces on the continent yet people think they are the worst people because of one police officer. It does not work like that,” Matiang’i stated.
As per the Interior CS, the police should be viewed in the same light as professionals in other industries.
“All those professionals can make mistakes but do we wake up in the morning and condemn them? What I am asking for is fairness, sincerity and balance in the things we do and say, “ Matiang’i stated.
