Kenei had a nice police house, why did he live in a bare bedsitter? The housing policy in which government ceased accommodating police officers, allowing them to live among civilians in areas of their choice, took effect last year. Most officers have since moved from government houses, leased houses, police camps or lines. They live in residential neigbourhoods in a move President Uhuru Kenyatta said was aimed at easing the perennial housing crisis. Secondly, by allowing officers to live in areas of their choice, it may turn out to be counterproductive.
