Power in the wrong hands: How criminals acquire firearms

To own a firearm in Kenya, you need to be atleast 21 years of age, undergo proper training and receive a clearance certificate from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations. Despite a rigorous vetting process, firearms still end up in the wrong hands. According to the National Security Report tabled in parliament earlier this year, 650,000 illegal firearms are in circulation. How does this happen? John Allan Namu of Africa Uncensored met up with a gangster in one of Nairobi's informal settlements to find out how he acquired his firearm.

2:19. So sad. I can feel this soul came to know that the polisi mwenye alikuwa anakula na yeye alimpeana.

[@victormwangimwangi797]

And that is the reason to why he/she/they can't help themselves coz they're totally corrupt.

[@samito001]

At 4:30 naona polisi wamevaa miwani..Mimi nlifukuzwa ju sina meno huyu ataua mwizi aje

[@alexyegon2381]

Owino has a good point. That's why police finds it easier to execute criminals than to take them to court.

[@llamacebu216]

Charles owino has a nice shiny gold watch
I'd start with investigating him

[@africanlabel4780]

Or maybe you want it 🙄

[@kangarijames9930]

Investigating officer is a D- student. Thank you, owino, for the insight there

[@donomondi4471]

So Allan should be a police officer as he's far much better than some of these big names talking here...

[@KIM-xl6zs]

Owino is a sharp man

[@petermuhoho3780]

This is all caused by the high unemployment rate among the youths and also the low pay/ terrible living conditions among the police. The govt is to be blamed for it has failed both parties

[@yvng_wade8613]

If the bridge between police who indulge in organised crime nd the upright one is thinned we would loose alot of innocent civillians due to tying of loose ends that's why the public will never rat out such crucial information
