Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko Mbuvi, clad in a police coat, today took to Nairobi roads to observe traffic police discharge their daily duties of maintaining order and regular traffic flow in city roads and roundabouts.
He described his mission as part of his constitutional duties to oversee state officers. He urged motorists to cooperate with the traffic officers and treat them kindly as they perform their difficult job daily of maintaining law and order on the roads, often times in rough weather.
“In these photos I'm not posting as another Waiganjo or an imposter but I'm discharging my constitutional duties on oversight over all state officers whereby I managed to do an investigate tour and feature on the flow of traffic on our busy major roads leading to our estates, roundabouts and all the major highways in the city,” wrote the senator on his facebook page.
He added “Do you know some police officers are not corrupt especially those controlling the flow of city traffic on our roads? We must come up with a system that will guarantee the supply of mobile/ portable toilets, provision of heavy jackets to officers who are on the roads as early as 4am, provision of clean drinking mineral water and other essential needs to officers controlling traffic during sunny hours. I therefore urge all motorists to kindly cooperate in assisting our officers to ensureeasy flow of traffick in our county. Carry even two bottles of clean mineral water from your house and donate to our officers controlling the city traffic. When your instructed to stop so that you pave way for another lane to flow, just obey and don't hoot at these innocent officers as they undergo through hell from what I experienced. If you have an emergency and may be your stopped or stuck in the jam, just alight from your car and plead with them politely and they will understand and assist you accordingly.”
