POWER IN THE WRONG HANDS.
The news reaching us is our two boda riders were being harrased around hornbill Umoja 1 area by one "Mureithi" who is said to be a cop of this Toyota fielder KBV 842V. The incident occured when one rider tried to pass where the other person passing is seen for there was enough space for a boda to pass. The said "cop" redirected the rider to use another footpath to cross over to the other side of the road and not near his car. He told the rider that he can't pass there [for the reasons best known to the "cop"] and if he tries,the said "cop" will remain with the riders bike.
He was drunk,he threw tantrums as he flexed how if any of our riders tried passing there,"they will get know him well in person". Buana hii vitisho baridi hizi zinafaa ziishe. Because you are a cop or working within the government doesn't guarantee you to harass law abiding citizens. Let's stop having this borrowed offences on bodas,sio fiti. The pride of one being so drunken in power because they are holding tools of power,they can pin a case on you because of their influence,will come to an end someday.
Bwana "Mureithi" these is our two cents
1. Understand not all bodas are bad.
2. Understand that being a boda boda rider is not a crime.
3. Understand that being a rider to some it's a full time employment.
4. Understand that we are trying to fend our families.
5. Understand that we are humans too.
And one will still ask why most people hate most of our servicemen?. It's for encounters, experiences and engagements like this.
