Fellow officers feel govt isn’t doing the right thing- Shakur the Cop alleges

Shakur, the police officer who was interdicted for his actions during the June 24th anti-government protests, has allegedly offered advice to his colleagues on handling Kenyans.

He was apprehended in Githurai after purportedly evading arrest multiple times. Speaking to Oga Obinna, he explained the frustrations (“hasira”) felt by cops and suggested that many officers share his views about the government’s actions.

“I can show you messages from over 1,000 fellow officers who feel the government isn’t doing the right thing,” he stated.

When asked why they don’t quit, he replied, “We can’t all quit; that would harm the country. I think the only solution is in 2027 when cops can vote. That’s when we can change things.”

“I’m a patriot, and I love this country dearly. All I want is the best for it,” he added, describing his ideal vision for future generations.

Regarding fellow officers using tear gas and live bullets on protestors, Shakur advised, “Just obey lawful orders. If you’re told to do something harmful, refuse. Like a cop whose brother was shot at Parliament; he said he’d quit. Police have the right to reject unlawful orders.”
