I think what matters is how useful the information availed there is to the public. I was on the website for some hours two days ago, in an attempt to trace someone I knew in the force, and I was quite disappointed with the outdated information I got there. I still haven't picked up myself into the 2nd leg of trying to trace the person - an officer. It would be better if they had valid information on the website.

At least, good people, the Kenya Police website isn't currently hacked into :)

Have a lovely Friday,

Its Interesting that you mentioned the dead websites.

Still no luck with the statistics and the Police traffic dept which ideally should have this info  does not have it on soft.


You want to hassle the MoT for the data, or Traffic Police HQs. In both cases, you are likely to encounter some very useless questions and time-wasting before you get the data. Better walk to the office you've opted for. Phone calls will not help.

And just if you did not know - there are not any computers in the Police offices. The last time I checked, computers were prestigious additions gracing the furniture inside senior officers' offices - mostly for posing with during photo shoots. There is no active use of computers for daily work within the Police. I could be wrong, but trust me - I was there. Everything is done on paper and follows a specific channel (with no thinking involved). Police reforms have a long way to go. Something like Vision 3020! All you have to do is look at the Police website and take time to read the sketchy data in order to convince yourself on how far they are from the Information Age.
