A police officer carries enormous power.
The power to stop, search, arrest, detain, investigate and, in some cases, use force.
That power must always come with responsibility.
It is therefore deeply disturbing that many police officers in Kenya continue to hide their names and service numbers while carrying out their duties. This is not only wrong, it is a direct violation of the law.
The National Police Service Act No. 11A of 2011 is clear. Paragraph A10 states:
"A Police officer in uniform shall at all times affix a nametag or identifiable Service number in a clearly visible part of the uniform."
The law does not say "sometimes." It does not say "when convenient." It says at all times.
Why would an officer conceal their identity from the public they are sworn to serve?
An honest officer should have no fear of being identified.
A professional officer should proudly wear their name and service number. It is the rogue officer, the corrupt officer and the abusive officer who benefits from anonymity.
When citizens cannot identify officers, complaints become impossible. Accountability disappears. Justice is obstructed. Public trust is destroyed.
The Inspector General knows this problem exists.
The National Police Service Commission knows it exists.
Human rights organizations have repeatedly raised concerns about it. Yet little meaningful action has been taken.
A police uniform should never become a mask behind which misconduct is hidden.
The question Kenyans must ask is simple:
Are we being policed by accountable public servants, or by individuals who deliberately conceal their identities while exercising state power?
No police officer should be above the law. The first duty of law enforcement is to obey the law.
Every officer must wear a visible name tag and service number.

Another Death Inside A Police Station!
24 years old Brian Njung’e, a student at Kiambu National Polytechnic, was arrested yesterday Thursday 21st May morning in Kirigiti area of Kiambu town and booked at Kiambu Police Station.
Brian called his mother from the police station around 9am and they spoke, where Brian informed the mother of his arrest.
The family, including the mother, rushed to the police station to follow up. They got there just before noon and requested to see Brian but were asked to wait.
They were kept waiting until around 2pm when they were called in and informed that Brian had allegedly committed suicide in the cells.
Police claim Brian was alone in the cells as other cellmates had been taken to court. The family is crying foul and wants justice arguing that the police story doesn’t add up.

MAJAMAA, there are 18 innocent comrades from Karatina, Nyeri County who have been facing fabricated charges following the July 2024 protests.
They have been appearing in court since 2024 for mentioning and more mentioning dates.
On the 13th of March 2026, the prosecution requested for two more weeks to review the case on whether to continue with the case or not and on 26th March 2026, the prosecution decided that they will continue with the case and a new hearing date was set to be on the 4th of June 2026.
The 18 comrades are kindly calling for our solidarity and humbly requesting that we stand with them on the 4th of June 2026.

I’m asking all of us Kenyans to help locate Samuel Mwangi Nganga, a fellow tweep who has been missing since 27 February.
No family should be left searching for their loved one while the country looks away. Kenyans were promised by President Ruto that the era of abductions had ended. Unfortunately, it appears it has not.
If you have seen him or have any information, please DM me or notify the authorities immediately.
Please spread this message until he is found.
The family of @Mshomolozi Samuel Ng'ang'a Mwangi is requesting Kenyans to help them find their son/husband/father who we suspect was abducted by President Ruto's rogue DCI officers on Friday 27th Feb 2026.
We have found Menelik Kimani at his parents home in Cura village, Kiganjo. He is well. He is very strong. The DCI confiscated his mobile phone without getting a court order from a Magistrate. He says thank you for everything.
Transparency and accountability in our roads.
Our journey to Singapore will not be realised if the traffic police still arrest people for non-existent traffic offences.
I have been complaining against arrests at Mau Tea road block arising from exceeding 50kmhr limit at Chepseon https://t.co/3gas9VOmUV law,there should be a sign post at the beginning and the end of the maximum speed.Chepseon has none. A mobile sign post kept by the police at the beginning.None at the end.After several fights,they have moved to the bush between Chepsir and Chepseon.We joke too much as a country.
This morning as I rushed to Court,I was flagged down at Mau Tea.I asked for a computer print out for alleged 111kmhr speed.There was none and I accepted to move to court and deal with police excesses and extortion.
I was supposed to be charged before a magistrate at noon and I presented myself on time.There was no charge sheet with the prosecution. At 2pm, I presented myself to the magistrate who was not aware of any charge against me.
I informed him of harassment of motorists by traffic police in our roads and he acknowledged my appearance on the cash bail and directed that the police should not be allowed to sneak in a charge any other day and apply for a warrant of arrest in my absence.
It is time to rid our roads of collection of bribes and extortion of motorists for non-existent traffic offences. My advocate @Wakili Dee Kirui is ready to help me and other victims.
My good followers thank you for being supportive and walking with me as we demand justice for the voiceless.
This woman works as a mama mboga in Kiganjo Thika . She gave her best worked hard to keep and give her only son Jimmy Analo the best education she could afford.
The A student now awaits a send-off and justice . 30 days in Mukoe Funeral Home Githunguri. Helpless he is because since he died mysteriously under school care it has been hard for the mum and family to ferry his body for burial all the way to Butele Western Kenya.
Kenyans for Kenyans this young soul needs to rest. It's already to much for the mother to handle . She is alone because even the school decided to keep off because mama Jimmy questioned the mysterious death of her only son
Let's join hands and buy him a coffin ⚰️ and hire a vehicle to ferry the family and Jimmies body possibly before 5th next month that's around 150,000 ksh or less .
