Polisi pia ni watu!

So today i had to leave early morning for a meeting in town. When i reached the junction to join Mombasa road, a police officer who was among 4 others came up to me and asked for a lift. Difficult to say no.

From the moment he entered the car, his phone was ringing off the hook and the Over Over machine was also on loud...aii....how does one concentrate and issue the correct instructions? Turns out kuna mkubwa who wanted the road cleared but so many cars were on the road at that early hour and he was saying he cant just stop the flow!! At some point he said, basi mwambie achukue barabara aweke kwa mfuko! he was visibly annoyed and it was just 6.30am in the morning!!

Anyways, he went on (during the short episodes when he was not on the phone) to say that sometimes people expect too much from cops and only remember them when they are in trouble....woishheee and that when you give your all and die in the line of duty, watasema watatunza watoto wako lakini watasahau familia yako soon after!!

Quite a somber morning!!

We do appreciate the cops and their work; lakini mm bado i fear them

He left the car pale GM and told me, have a good day!!!
