The release of the Waki Report in Kenya, which laid responsibility for post-election violence at the end of last year on a host of individuals and institutions, including the police, is fueling serious recriminations and resistance from some of the country's police agencies.

Let's hope that in this case the discontentment does not manifest itself as anything more than bureaucratic infighting.
