A resident of Eastlands has shared what Matatu tours and drivers go through around Huruma Jonsaga towards Dandora Roundabout.
‘These Huruma-Jonsaga cops are forever harrasing Kenyans who are genuinely looking for their daily bread. It’s a wonder how Traffic Cops will let you pass then these Hungry cops wanakushika two meters ahead,’ said the resident.
He says that the cops collect bribe and sometimes steal from Kenyan men who come by foot.

Most of their victims are men coming from work in Mjengo. They are always stopped, frisked of their building equipment, bundled into a police cruiser and asked to buy their freedom.
During the height of Covid-19 containment, citizens also faced rough in the hands of these cops. Some would remove the mask from your face and accuse you of not wearing one.
‘They are ever collecting bribes and they also steal from Kenyans. They will arrest you with mask then wanakutoa wanatupa Unaandikwa Haukua na mask,’ the resident told Umoja News.
We urge the inspector General of Police to do the necessary, did police reforms collapse?
