Angaza Network Empowerment on Wednesday faulted Interior CS Fred Matiang’i’s plan to ban relationships among police officers to curb cases of domestic violence and killings within the service. Matiang’i on April 30 announced that the government is crafting stringent rules that will guide relationships to curb cases of sexual harassment in the National Police Service. “We will adopt a system similar to that of the Kenya Defence Forces which bars the soldiers from getting into intimate relationships with their colleagues," Matiang’i said. If it happens that two police officers fall in love, then one has to leave the Service," he said. He said most police officers in the country have mental health issues because of the frustrations they are subjected to in the service.
