  Ngilu "Fixed" By Cops

    From: You Missed This

  Despite the fact that Health Minister Charity Ngilu has spent the better part of today in police custody at CID headquarters as well as yesterday afternoon, police commissioner Major General Ali had a clarification for the press today during a heated press conference session.
  
  The Minister is not under arrest and neither is she being detained by the police, he said. She is simply assisting the police in investigations.
  
  This is a new revelation by the police commissioner which means that next time the men in blue pick you up at the local kiosk with sukuma wiki bread and milk in your hands and ask you to accompany them to the police station (so that you can bribe them for your freedom) and you are as principled as Kumekucha is and spend the night in the cooler, don't tell people you were arrested by police. Tell them you were assisting the police with investigations.
  
  So why has Ngilu been "assisting the police with investigations" for the whole long day? There are different stories the police are giving. One says that...

  Kumekucha's Terrifying Ordeal In The Hands Of The Police And How It Changed Him Forever

  In my informed view Kamukunji Police Station cells are a much more friendlier place than the usually badly stinking brutal Central Police station cells.
  
  The Police cells and Kenyan prisons contrary to what many naïve Kenyans think, is not filled with rapists and murders and carjackers. NO. They are full of innocent Kenyans whose only crime is that they did not have the money to "buy their freedom." Many others are people merely "assisting the police with investigations" for a very long time.
  
  In 1986 something happened to me in the hands of the police that changed my life forever and in fact almost killed me.
  
  I was newly married and still in the "honeymoon mode" trying to work very hard to provide for my newly established family. I was a journalist but I carefully avoided controversial stories that could get me into trouble. I would not write a political story even if you paid me a million bob (and believe me a million bob was a lot of money in those heady days when a loaf bread cost less than Kshs 4/-).
  
  I worked for a mzungu publication based in Westlands (that was the first of its' kind in Kenya) and had recently received a tip off about a story that involved a traffic policeman who had been deliberately ran over by a matatu driver. I was doing this reluctantly because even such a story was too controversial for me.
  
  One afternoon I walked back into the office in Waumini House Annexe, Westlands to be told that there were some plain clothes policemen looking for me. I assumed that it was about the story I was chasing. I really wasn't frightened of policemen as I had grown up seeing them and interacting with them because my father was very senior police officer and still was at that time.
  
  To cut a long story short I was arrested and driven all over Nairobi by police officers from the then dreaded Special branch...

  Yes, the media bill will soon be law. It has been passed in parliament and awaits the president's signature to become law. These are some of the laws that make the Kenyan justice system a joke. Laws passed, not for posterity but for the convenience of a few powerful people who have broken the law and want to use the same law to protect themselves.
  
  You can debate this issue until the cows come home but the fact of the matter is...
