It was all chaos as Rongai residents decided to teach a traffic police a lesson for what seemed like taking advantage on matatus them.
According to the residents the cop has been taking bribes from a matatu touts but today he kicked the tout for refusing to give him a Sh2,000 bribe something that the residents did not take lightly.
The further said that the officer attached to Tumaini AP camp has been extorting money from matatu operators who ply the Rongai-Bomas route.
According to Somon Sitet a Rongai route tout said, “This officer has been taking bribes from us daily and we have decided enough is enough.”
He claimed the officer became aggressive when they refused to give in to his demands.
The officer’s colleagues came to his rescue.
The officers arrested the tout and his colleagues and took them to Ongata Rongai police station.
Residents have asked Interior CS Fred Matiang’i to rein in the officers.
In March last year, an EACC survey found the Interior ministry to be the most corrupt.
