Extortion At Maseno: How Police In Maseno Rob Motorists

Corruption is rampant in Kenya. The National Police Service (NPS) is the most corrupt according to Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC).

Read below how both traffic and administration Police (AP) extort money from motorists at Maseno.

Hello Cyprian,

Kindly address this and let it reach the highest police authorities, I mean those who can stop the corrupt ones at Maseno, just by the police station.

So the traffic police, including the APs are stopping vehicles, including vehicles that are driving at 50 km/hr, and demanding bribes from motorists, they say there are cameras that are taking shots of the overspeeding vehicles.

When you ask for evidence they threaten with arrests under trumped up and fake charges.

They harass you to ensure that you pay a bribe.

These police officers are taking advantage of their positions and uniforms to solicit funds from the public, with threats.

If you ask for a charge sheet to go to court they disappear, only for one to come back to where you are waiting and ask you for kitu kidogo (a bribe) .

We are busy Kenyans who are working hard to keep the law but the police are destroying us.

Kindly address this matter.

Maseno traffic police should be stopped.
