In his words, these vehicles are "meant to help in the fight against terrorism and generally ensure peace around the country." The militarisation of the Kenya police can in no way guarantee us peace. In as far as peace goes, it is the desire of everyone to experience positive peace or so I assume. The militarisation of the police points to a government that has terribly failed in its pursuit, if any, of positive peace. To ensure peace therefore, those in power need not invest in thousands of military hardware but instead establish and strengthen institutions that ensure inclusive and transparent governance.
