The corrupt officers of the Kenya National Police Service are on the spot for harassing, intimidating and unlawfully-arresting the last born to a family based in Kamuyu in Muranga County.
Julius Rutere the Muranga DCIO is said to have been bribed by a rogue member of the family of the late Stephen Kirubi, in-order to illegally evict and arrest him, as a way of intimidation and forceful acquisition of the property.
Fredrick Kirubi who is a drinking buddy to Julius Rutere is said to have bribed the corrupt DCIO, compelling him to arrest his younger brother Macharia Kirubi and subject him to public humiliation.
By customary law, the main house of the family is normally left to the last born son. But the older brother Fredrick is said to have been eyeing the house, so as to move in with his estranged family. To aid him in his delusions, he connived with the Muranga DCIO to help him execute his devious plan.
The money-hungry Julius Rutere was only too willing to assist.
Based on the fictitious claims of illegal firearms, the officers broke into the house without a search warrant issued by a competent court, and planted bullets claiming that those were illegal and part of the conspiracy to claim that the house harboured illegal activity.
The mind of a Kenyan policeman is very small. That’s the best they could think of under the circumstances.
Though the family farm is in Makuyu sub-county, the illegal raid was supervised by the DCIO of Kangema, which is 100km away, instead of Makuyu Police Station.
Family members are now living in fear of more intimidation and state-sponsored harassment by the partisan Muranga DCIO and are calling for his conduct to be probed by the Independent Police Oversight Authority (IPOA).
It seems like the DCI heads of counties are still suffering a nasty Ndegwa Muhoro hangover, and they seem to be unaware that the institution is now under new management.
Coincidentally, Julius Rutere is the same character who was drugged by two prostitutes in Katarina in 2017. He was drugged and robbed of money, two cellphones and his firearm. He was found naked and unconscious in a lodging.
Instead of concentrating his efforts in arresting such criminals as the women who drug men like him in bars, Rutere is being bribed to intimidate peace loving Kenyans. These two incidents show why he should be immediately interdicted, and all the policemen involved in the operation transferred to hardship areas like Kapedo.
