| Security
is a basic human right. This is underlined by Article
3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As a
member of the family of nations, Kenya subscribes to
this Declaration. As a country, we regard security as
a matter of national priority.
Security of person's as a basic human
right, is also one of the most significant factors contributing
to the quality of communities worldwide. Security provides
an enabling environment for citizens to live and work
in, and it stimulates social, economic and political
development.
Kenya's transition, and prospects of
development, hinge to a great extent on the country's
ability to guarantee security within her borders. This
is a goal that the current Government is committed to
attain. It is also a good that many Kenyan's are longing
for.
In this regard, the Government has
made some important steps. A task force appointed in
March 2003 is drawing a road map for the Police Reforms.
The Commissioner of Police is committed to a Police
Force whose members are motivated, people friendly,
open, relaxed and honest with one another and the public;
know their role and mandate and be proud of their job;
appreciated by the public…
The just concluded Constitutional review
holds a promise for the establishment of an emancipated
Police Service, that will operate in conformity with
democratic transformation from the current practice
of Regime Policing to Democratic Policing (Community
Policing)
These measures augur well with the
Police Reforms as well as the goodwill of citizens.
An international survey conducted in January 2003 placed
Kenyan's as the most optimistic citizens in the world.
The Government will do well to tap into this optimism.
It is the energy that will drive the nation's transformation
to Its desired destination. For
citizen's security:this is the moment.
