There have been a series of suicides in the Kenyan police force in the last year - at the rate of at least one or two each month. And last month, Kenya’s Inspector General of Police announced that nearly 2,000 officers weren’t fit for service – due to issues with their mental health. That's 2,000 officers who carry guns. So how can the police service tackle these issues – for the welfare of its officers, and the safety of the public?

Africa Daily speaks to the widow of a police officer who took his own life - as well as a psychologist and human rights worker. Presenter: Ferdinand Omondi (@FerdyOmondi)
