Residents in Nyeri town are protesting, blaming police officers who have been taking bribes from drug traffickers. More than three people have died from illegal liquor sales, but no police have intervened.
It is said that officers usually come out in the evening to collect money from drug traffickers and are never present when someone is found dead due to illegal alcohol brewing.
One of the men has mourned his son, who died this morning, revealing that he received a phone call at around 9:00 am, only to find his body lying helples"I received the terrible news about the death of my son around 9:00 am this morning. At first, I didn't believe it, but I later found his lifeless body lying along the road.
Two weeks ago, we buried another man who died from the illegal alcohol brew being sold in our town. Police officers are only seen in the evening when collecting bribes from the pubs in the market, but when one of us dies, they are nowhere to be found.
We urge the county government to chip in and address this issue because we are suffering under the helpless hands of the corps who are after money but not protecting their people," he said.
Videos exposed show a giant crowd of people, many of them being women carrying tree trunks and walking along the busy roads of that place, airing their grievances in a mournful mood. What's your take on this issue?
