Francis Gichogo Mwita, a junior officer attached to Directorate of Criminal Investigations Nairobi headquarters was arrested after hurling insults at two women and a senior police officer and displaying violent conduct by smashing “a glass on the floor”.
A police report says Mr Francis Gichogo Mwita, who was on a drinking spree, was arrested for causing disturbance and hurling unprintables on two women identified as Happiness Wambura and Habuba Hamisi.
“K**a zenu zinanuka […] Hamjui kuziosha […] Nitawanunulia sabuni mzioshe,” he allegedly told Happiness Wambura and Habuba Hamisi in Kuria dialect.
Loosely translated: “Your v****as stink […] You don’t know how to clean them […] I will buy you soap you clean them.”
Mwita did not identify himself as a police officer until he was booked at Kehancha police station following his arrest.
He also threatened the area OCS with immediate transfer if they dared arrest him, claiming to be “so powerful and had acquaintances with the county commander (Migori) and the county commissioner in Nairobi.
“He abused the OCS of being a fool and there was nothing that he could do to him. He even threatened of being able to initiate transfer of the Ocs at once,” read the report filed under OB number 21/21/04/2019.
“Please be informed that […] Cpl Francis Githogo Mwita of DCI headquarters has been arrested on 21/04/2019 at 1900HRS,” a memo referenced “arrest of a police officer” read in part.
He abused the OCS of being a fool and there was nothing he could do to him.
“It was after the OCS had effected his arrest that he introduced himself as a police (officer) attached to DCI headquarters (in) Nairobi.”
