The way you guys are working, a lot of people will now think twice before engaging in crime. Hakuna kitu inawapita.

Well Done @DCI_Kenya . That lady should teach us how to respond to robbery with violence . She kept her cool , who knows what would have happened if she made any attempts to resist . She will get another bag and money but not another life .

However, some KOT questioned the manner in which DCI dives into action in cases involving ‘minor’ offences while serious offences like corruption involving big fish usually drag for years before fizzling out.
Congrats to @DCI_Kenya and the entire team…we now need the same results in corruption.

For the longest time Kenya has been a hub for all manner of criminals both big and small…We didn't know what it felt like to be protected and have a working Anti-Crime Agency! We are grateful endeleeni hivyo…Lakini tunangoja report and convictions ya Arror na Kimwarer…..
