Kenyans and the international community should stop blaming the Kenya police and army for the crimes they are alleged to have committed. The entire world should understand the hell they have been going through and the agony of the blame for the crimes they never intended to commit.

The Kenya police force tries to maintain order against organized gangs, structured crime and kangaroo courts, but the emergence of vigilantes around the country has gone beyond control.

The word vigilante was first used in 1856. It originates from Spanish meaning watchman or guard. In Latin, vigilans means watchful or vigilant.
