Kenyans are doing all they can devoid of the government’s help to beat corona and survive the economic downturn.
However, as usual, the state is the enemy of progress.
This is the situation in Rabuor, a dilapidated and forgotten outpost in poverty stricken Nyanza province.
Police officers remove people from their compounds, charge them for not wearing masks.
This is utter bullshit that must stop. Hillary Mutyambai, Inspector General of Police
Hello Cyprian,
There are police officers at Rabuor police station, Nyando sub-county, who are just doing the work of arresting and harassing villagers.
They walk deep in the village pick people without mask and ask for Sh2000, and if you don't pay them they take you to a small cell where you find more than 20 people, and no coronavirus measures followed.
So you wonder are they forcing you to catch the virus.
Furthermore, Rabuor is a place with small businesses people who earn not more than Sh500 per day. In addition, the officers make sure they arrest at least 70 people per day.
This is a total exploitation of innocent villagers.
Kindly air this for us, it has happened for the past three weeks
