As<BR>> a law<BR>> abiding citizen, I stopped and without being asked,<BR>> I<BR>>
opened the boot, stepped out and handed over my<BR>> Driving<BR>> Licence.<BR>> <BR>> After 5minutes (eternity for me!) I realised that<BR>> the young<BR>> police officer was struggling with his torch trying<BR>> to<BR>> shine the lamp on my annual renewal licences. I<BR>> moved<BR>> closer and he seemed happy to have discoverd and<BR>> even<BR>> happier to confirm that I had FORGED it (what???).<BR>> He was<BR>> alleging that it expired last year and since I was<BR>> the<BR>> clever-one, i simply extended the year by<BR>> overwriting the<BR>> original deadline and replacing it with next year<BR>> (i.e from<BR>> 2006 to 2008 expiry date)<BR>> <BR>> I tried to say indeed the overwriting was truly<BR>> there, but<BR>> it must have been done by the KRA (Kenya Revenue<BR>> Officials,<BR>> they are human and can make mistakes) but he was<BR>> adamant<BR>> that I must visit their Police station
and be<BR>> checked in. I<BR>> tried to say that if I had committed a traffic<BR>> offence , I<BR>> would have expected that he would write me a<BR>> ticket/summons? to appear in court sometime later in<BR>> the<BR>> week and stand accused awaiting<BR>> defence/judgement/penalty..(lawyers could correct me<BR>> on<BR>> that).<BR>> <BR>> Later on he agreed that he will write the Summons<BR>> from the<BR>> Poice Station and so we drove to the nearest police<BR>> station<BR>> for this summons to be written. We reached there<BR>> (Nyayo<BR>> Stadium Police Station) and he asked me to sit right<BR>> next<BR>> to the Cells (which were full of some very mean<BR>> looking<BR>> 'Matheri' type of characters).<BR>> <BR>> After 5min, he came back to say that his Boss, the<BR>> Officer<BR>> in Charge of the Station is not in and so I have to<BR>> be<BR>> locked in until tomorrow morning, when he will
come<BR>> and<BR>> write me the summons (hallooo??- next to THOSE<BR>> guys?).<BR>> <BR>> To cut down the story, my wife new someone, who knew<BR>> some<BR>> Senior cop, whom she called and he eventually gave<BR>> instructions to have me released - on Condition that<BR>> I<BR>> apologise for the offense (O.K. now what had I done<BR>> again?).<BR>> <BR>> Here is the IT angle - isn't it time their website<BR>> www.kenyapolice.go.ke gave the Citizens the correct<BR>> position regarding Police Procedures for<BR>> Civil/Criminal<BR>> offence? I mean I never knew a traffic offence could<BR>> earn<BR>> you 1-night accomodation with General Ali's (the<BR>> Police<BR>> Commissioner) guests. Further more, when are those<BR>> so<BR>> called Tamper-proof Driving Licences going to hit<BR>> the<BR>> market?<BR>> <BR>> walu.<BR>> nb: the overwriting was explained to me by KRA this<BR>> morning<BR>>
- they say that it often happens and all they do is<BR>> to<BR>> double-stamp the affected license which they<BR>> actually done-<BR>> but I never knew the implication of that<BR>> double-stamp. Am<BR>> sure the young Police Officer had seen the<BR>> double-stamping<BR>> but was not in a hurry to educate me - he preferred<BR>> to drag<BR>> me to next to his cells for whatever (you are<BR>> allowed to<BR>> speculate) reasons.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>><BR>____________________________________________________________________________________<BR>> Get your own web address. <BR>> Have a HUGE year through Yahoo!
