in Kenya: Seize the Moment. Paper presented at the Roundtable Conference
on Police Reform in East Africa, Police as a Service
Organisation: An Agenda for Change, Nairobi: 24-25 April
2003.
The author identifies the problem inherent in the Kenya
Police Service in terms of discussing three strands of
accountability (popular and legal accountability and
transparency) and assessing the institutional structures
in place for police oversight (and their inadequacy)
in Kenya. A critical review is also made of accountability
structures in Tanzania, Uganda, Nigeria, South Africa
and Northern Ireland.
