More than half of Kenyan police officers like policing but are not satisfied with their jobs, a new survey suggests. Only 35 per cent of 127 stations reported to have investigated all allegations or complaints made against police officers. Nine per cent of the respondents reported police inaction, seven per cent excessive use of force, while seven per cent reported bribery, corruption and extortion. Only eight per cent of the respondent in the rural areas are aware they can lodge a complaint against police officers, the survey report said. Thirty-six per cent of the respondents reported they were dissatisfied and 10 per cent reported that they were neither dissatisfied nor satisfied.
