IMPUNITY MUST BE STOPPED ‼️
Today I faced harassment and public embarrassment while doing my duty simply for trying to protect the peace and dignity of our city.
It began when I received a complaint that there was a club near State House causing excessive noise late into the night. We swiftly responded and visited areas around Milimani, but after thorough checks, we confirmed that the noise was not coming from any club in that area.
Shortly after, we received a second complaint that helped us finally trace the actual source an event taking place on Dennis Pritt Road, in Kilimani, opposite Roadhouse Grill and right next to the Spinal Injury Hospital.
Upon arrival, we were shocked to find a major event with sound systems equivalent to those used at public grounds like Uhuru Park. This was in the heart of a residential area, and worse still, adjacent to a hospital that hosts accident victims, many of whom are recovering from severe bone fractures, spinal injuries, and trauma. Loud music of that magnitude is not only disruptive it’s cruel and a direct health risk to these patients who desperately need rest, peace, and a stable healing environment.
I calmly and respectfully asked the organizers to reduce the volume or end the event in order to stop the clear case of noise pollution. Unfortunately, instead of cooperating, they turned violent, insulted me, and even threatened me with their lawyer trying to blackmail and intimidate us with the false claim that they had a right to such disruptive noise in that setting.
Despite all this, we stood firm and ensured the noise was stopped.
Let me say this clearly: We will not be bullied or silenced in our efforts to restore order in Nairobi. No one has the right to abuse the peace and dignity of our neighborhoods, let alone put vulnerable hospital patients at risk. It’s painful when public officers are harassed for simply doing their jobs but this will not weaken our resolve.
We will continue to stand for what is right for the voiceless, for the sick, for every law-abiding citizen who deserves a peaceful city. We are not against entertainment we are for order, dignity, and the rule of law.
