On 5 August 2013, a Citizen TV exposé raised allegations that two policemen were involved in pickpocketing inside matatus, the public service vehicles used by thousands of commuters every day.
The report said the officers had been identified in connection with the theft claims, adding a troubling twist to a crime that often targets unsuspecting passengers in crowded vehicles.
The segment framed the matter around the police service motto, “Utumishi Kwa Wote,” and questioned conduct that appeared to clash with the duty to protect the public from harm.
A source link to the original video was provided in the archive material, but no further details, denials, or disciplinary action were included in the source text.
