I just saw a bunch of cops hassling the bus drivers as I was coming to work, and "worthless" is exactly what I thought. I saw one investigating a driver's papers very secretively, and I figured there was some money folded somewhere in the license. I didn't dare peek as I walked by because who knows, it might be illegal to witness a cop taking a bribe!! haha Maybe I was naive before I came to Kenya, but I never really looked at cops and thought “worthless” when I was in America.

But I believe cops all over the world, or almost all over the world are somehow corrupted..I dont like cops anyway..in Greece, where I live they really think they are very special, like the 'chosen' ones :P But really what did they told you because you were talking at night to a friend... sounds so funny...and weird Well… give a person power to see what he is like!That’s what I say.

The point is, it's wrong and it pisses me off; whether it will change or not is another issue altogether. You see, the matatu is not in the business of being charitable, it's in the business of making money. Besides, there are hundreds of people walking along the side of the highway who are also poor and live in muddy tin shacks but <em>they</em> don't get a free ride. :) I’m arguing on my blog so I don’t have to argue with the cops!

Donuts and coffee, free hot dog etc. . . And why not if they leave you alone? Not their fault the pay is bad and the living quarters are bad. All I know is it would not be wise to argue it with them.
