    "content": "The post-election violence that arose from the 2007 General Election underscored the need to undertake comprehensive reforms in the Police Force in order to address underlying structural, institutional and legislative weakness. The Commission of Inquiry into the post-election violence commonly known as the “Waki Commission” recommended urgent and comprehensive reforms in the Police Force with specific reference to the following. Constitutional review to establish an independent Police Service Commission, review and define the role of the Administration Police as well as the Kenya Police, review laws and issues related to security and policing, including setting up an independent Complaints Commission, Citizens Oversight Police Services, enhance information disclosure, human resource management and capacity building to make them consistent with modern democratic norms; finalization and roll out of the National Security Policy to enable the relevant sectors to develop their specific sectoral policies and finally, recruitment and training of more police officers to raise the police to citizens population ratio. It further recommended that such reforms be undertaken as quickly as possible."
