Working hours of the Police

My French friend expressed that she hates to drive in town when it is raining. Slightly puzzled, I asked her why. Because all the police men go home when it rains, and there is a traffic jam at every junction, she answered!
When in the beginning of 2006 guests of a well known Indian restaurant were forced by heavily armed criminals to lay down and at gun point deliver all their valuables, a cook of the restaurant managed to escape through the back door, and ran a long way to the nearest police station, only to find it abandoned, at 9pm in the evening. A kitchen boy had managed to look himself into a toilet, and desperately tried to call the 112 emergency number with no success – no one replied!
The next day, it was all over in the newspaper, and the highest police commander was forced to resign, or better to say, was sent into early retirement. Many had said about him before that he had gone for profitable agreements with criminals on a routine basis. His house in Morogoro is surrounded by a wall as high you cannot even see a glimpse of the actual building, and one can only guess its splendor. However it needed a huge scandal and new president to replace him!
