A damning audit report has revealed how National Police Service (NPS) senior traffic bosses have given their juniors daily bribe targets.

The report shows that the junior officers are then deployed to go out and harass Kenyans as they collect the desired amount. Failure to reach a target means the officers will either be transferred to hardship areas or face trumped up disciplinary cases.
