On September 26, 2021, the residents of Kianjokoma gathered at ACK Trinity Church to welcome the new police officers posted to the local station.
Reverend Isaiah Njagi, who presided over the service, noted that the chairs at the station were not in good condition and called for a better working environment for the officers.
"We want to provide a better working environment for our officers to be able to serve our people better," Rev Njagi said.
He also challenged the residents to respect the authorities and avoid engaging in drug trafficking and consuming illicit brews, which would minimize confrontations and create a partnership with the officers.
OCS Isaak Mugoya, the new officer in charge, assured the residents that his office was open at all times to serve the community better.
The residents expressed optimism that the new police station would help their businesses thrive and encouraged the officers to treat them with dignity.
"Kindly approach situations with dignity where possible. Not all situations require the use of force. Be fair and treat us well and we will bring pastoral to your doorstep and even bring some foods to share," Rev Njagi added.
