You have read it all. First it was a 5 times in the last 6 years. He then opened up about when he attempted to bribe his way through. At this juncture I thought there was nothing more that could shock me. Then a to join the force.

Naturally I had to give the Kenya Police the right of reply. I began by barking up on the wrong tree by calling the Administration Police spokesman Masoud Mwinyi who informed me that he was away on leave and that I should speak to police spokesperson, Zipporah Gatiria Mboroki. Here is a brief snippet of my conversation with Zipporah;

Mpasho: Hello

Ziporrah: Hello

Mpasho: My name is Jones, from the Radio Africa Group. I have a few queries to ask you concerning police recruitment.

Zipporah: Yes, but us we don't recruit, questions about police recruitment you have to ask.....

Listen in to the entire conversation between Zipporah and I below;

As you might have been guessing the appropriate body to respond to police recruitment questions is the National Police Service Commission whose chairman is Mr. Johnston Kavuludi. I tried reaching out to Mr. Kavuludi through numerous calls but he did not pick up.

I then sent him a text and he promised to call me back after he was done with a meeting. He didn't call back.

My further calls to him went unanswered. We are sorry we were not able to get a comment from the Kenya police in response to this series, the Rotten Police Recruitment.
