A video of a traffic policeman seemingly refusing a bribe has emerged online.
In the video, the traffic officer on a motorcycle is seen parked alongside a matatu before the driver approaches him.
The matatu driver is then seen handing over what appears like his driver’s licence to the cop.
After opening the folded driver’s licence, the cop finds a wad of notes which he unceremoniously throws away before placing the licence on the motorcycle’s handlebar.
The policeman is then seen pulling away in front of the matatu.

Here are some reactions
There is another good cop on Langata road. Don’t know his name but he is found at T Mall around about. That guy needs to be recognized.

Once I wanted to bribe a cop with 500 but he was demanding 5k, he threw that note like I had given him shit.

I live on Thika Road and there is a biker cop who is really feared by matatus, I think this is the guy. @NPSOfficial_KE such people should be recognized and rewarded.

Dear @PoliceKE,
Please deploy this officer to 1st Ave Eastleigh. From Jogoo rd to Medina Mall R.About. He might help clear the obstruction caused by Matatus on both sides of the road, which happens under the full glare of cops. It’s terrible.
Kudos to this officer.— Muqtada al – Sadr (@254nerd) August 31, 2018
We have a new DPP in town. People whisper his name.
