Police found a fake cop running an illegal station last Saturday in Uasin Gishu. The pretend officer set up shop without permission at the Cheboror area in Kesses. Nobody knows exactly how long this bogus police post operated before real officers discovered it. The suspect lives in the Asis village of Ndugulu Location, according to officials.
Authorities continue investigating this strange situation. Creating real police stations requires extensive paperwork and official steps. Before opening, any legitimate station needs working cells, offices, bathrooms, and weapon storage. The law states that only the Inspector General can establish police stations.
The Inspector General must announce new stations through official gazette notices. These stations should spread evenly across all 47 counties as required by rules. Local people must first ask for a station through their community leaders. The National Police Service reviews these requests with help from the Interior Ministry.
After initial approval, money and planning decisions follow. Experts conduct detailed studies before officials pick land for construction. Real stations serve many purposes, including administration and command functions. They give police officers space to work creatively on public safety issues.
Every official station keeps uniform records as directed by the Inspector General. They register crime victims and create support programs for people hurt by criminal acts. Each location provides ways for citizens to report bad behavior by police officers. The Inspector General can establish smaller outposts following constitutional principles.
The fake station bypassed all these required steps and operated completely outside the law. Regular citizens might not know the difference between real and fake police locations. This creates serious safety concerns for anyone who might seek help at unauthorized locations. Local officials expressed shock about the discovery during their weekend inspection.
