color:#1F497D'>I agree with you. While a fairly internet savvy and informed
individual as myself and you are able to read and understand the law and what
rights accrue to us, majority of Kenyans do not. Our Police (and to a great
extent because of the horrid conditions under which they serve) have taken
advantage of this to extort Kenyans. The Mututho law in principle is meant to
protect us, but how it is being enforced is what I question. That said, how can
we harness the power of ICT to change that?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Maybe ICT can protect you, but the surest way is to ensure
