This document is a statement delivered at a conference regarding the state of the security sector in Kenya. The speaker uses the plot of Chinua Achebe's novel 'No Longer at Ease' as an allegory to describe systemic corruption and the failure of security agencies to serve the public interest despite receiving state-funded training.

• The speaker asserts that Kenya's security sector, specifically the Kenya Police Force, is characterized by systemic corruption and bribery, noting that security agencies consistently rank as the most corrupt entities in various Bribery Indices.
• The speaker argues that there is a failure in the legal system to hold corrupt security officers accountable, stating that laws do not effectively catch and prosecute those engaging in bribery.
• The document highlights a disconnect between the training security officers receive—funded by taxpayers at institutions such as Kiganjo—and their actual conduct in maintaining law and order.
