Indeed. Keep these chokoras in Nairobi. Keep Kabete guy in Kakamega. Like teachers - they will become very responsible member of society - and their salary will become more meaningful. But imagine someone is send to Meru and he come from Kericho - fare back home is like 1,500 - return 3,00 - salary is 15,000 or 10K after loans.
If they serve in their villages - they will spend almost zero - they sleep at home - eat dinner at home - contribute to their socities.
In fact like the British - we dont need to give them guns. Chiefs enforce discipline with sticks and slaps. As long as people know so and so is gov police man - they will respect his authority. He can arrest villages by summoning them to police station...give them basic canning...mambo kwisha.
Once localized - we dont need military attired police - they can be issued with pistols - and that is more than enough.
Which country do you see police carrying military style guns. In Europe - they carry pistols - if any arm at all.
The kabete killer police is more reasons to localize police. Marital problems will be less - less bribes less women dramas, stable families and lesser mental shit.
