The primary purpose of 101 Things You Wanted to Know About the Police But Were Too Afraid

to Ask (101 Things) is to improve relations between the police and the public. The police are

regarded by the public as suppressing them in order to promote the interests of the rich and the

powerful. The police are regarded as being extremely corrupt, especially in extracting money

from the less well off. Public opinion polls for several years put them at the top of the list of the

most corrupt state institutions. We consider that better understanding between the police and

the public would come about if both of them have a better understanding of the obligations of

the police and the rights of the people. 101 Things focuses largely on the authority of the police

and the rights of the people that they must respect. We believe that the full benefits of the

pocket book will be achieved if both the public and the police carefully study and follow it.

The relationship between the police and the public goes back to the time of the colonisation of

Kenya, when the primary purpose of the police was to suppress Africans in the interests of the

colonial power and European settlers. To a considerable extent this continued after

independence—and with this the uneasy and often tense relationship between the people and

the police. Both those in authority and the police considered that the main role of the police was

to protect the interests of those who controlled the state. There was little accountability of the

police for their conduct.

A fundamental change in the structure and functions of the police was set out in the 2010

Constitution in accordance with its principles and values of protecting the rights and security of

the people and the accountability of state institutions. The police will no longer be under the

absolute authority of the government, their independence being a fundamental constitutional

principle.
