Mixed reactions over Matiang’i’s police relationships remark

[ad_1]

Interior CS Fred Matiang’i has said the government is crafting stringent rules to curb cases of sexual harassment in the police service.

He on Friday said a team had been formed to come up with rules that will guide relationships in the National Police Service.

He said among others, the move is aimed at addressing rising cases of sexual harassment and killings in the service.

However, Kenyans are asking whether rules can prevent two adults from falling in love. 

Matiang’i had said, “We will adopt a system similar to that of the Kenya Defence Forces which bars the soldiers from getting into intimate relationships with their colleagues.”

“Moving forward, it will be illegal for a police officer to date or get married to a fellow law enforcement officer. If it happens that two police officers fall in love, then one has to leave the Service.”

Kenyans are questioning how effective the ‘love ban’ would be.
