The policeman identified as Kipkorir Onesmus termed the journalists criminals after he alleged that earlier in the morning another group of journalists had accessed the senate committee meetings without the security’s knowledge.
The policeman is said to have shoved a KTN reporter and threatened to beat her if she did not leave the premises immediately.
“I do not care who you are. I decide who comes to the senate and who doesn’t. I have the powers to even block the Senators from entering the chambers,” he shouted at the reporters while pushing them away. The policeman later asked his colleagues to take the journalists to the cells but his partners stood by and watched the drama unfold.
This is not the first time that journalists from the Standard Group are facing the wrath of the police as last month two of them found themselves in trouble with officers for trying to expose their corrupt dealings.
