Narok Police May Not be Objective,’ Says Senator Ole Kina

The senator of Narok county, Ledama Ole Kina, said that the police in his county may be bias for fear of influential people in the county.

Referring to a case of assault between a tourist and an influential business man, Mr. Muneer Ishmael, in Narok. The senator thinks that there is a possibility that both parties were in the wrong but the police only arrested the tourist.

“The police seem to fear Mr Ishmael, why haven’t they arrested him after equally injuring the tourist,” said Mr Kina.

An argument escalated after the tourists parked their car at the entrance of Mr. Ishmael’s petrol station. The standoff degenerated into a fight where Mr Ishmael suffered injuries on the face. The tourists were arrested for assaulting Mr. Ishmael at a roadblock in Ntulele trading centre, as they drove to Nairobi.

Mr Ishmael, a local businessman in Narok town, hit the headlines in 2009 after the police discovered illegal military arsenal in his house.

The arsenal, the largest ever consignment of weapons found in civilian hands in Kenyan history, included 100,000 bullets and six guns.

An assortment of military supplies was also seized from the businessman’s house in Narok.
