Deputy Speaker of the National assembly Gladys Shollei has proposed that police officers should wear body cameras in an attempt to fight corruption.
Speaking on television during a discussion on the war on graft by the judiciary, the lawmaker claimed that police officers receive a lot of bribes even from remandees who are seeking a court hearing.
“Police officers bring remandees to the court from time to time and sometimes you find that they don’t bring them on time and the cases cannot proceed so you find remandees having to bribe police officers so that they can be taken to court,”
The Uasin Gishu Women Rep argued that the use of body cameras would help monitor the police officers during their interactions with the public.

The legislature further expressed confidence that the Judiciary is on the right trajectory to combating corruption, making a raft of recommendations.
She added that stumping out graft within the Judiciary has to be a continuous process and many systems will have to be put in place.
Digitizing information at the registry and introducing CCTV cameras were among the proposals the Uasin Gishu women representative hoped to be actualized.
