Viral Ex- GSU Officer Seeks Return to Police Duty After 19-Year Battle with Depression: Ex-GSU officer who left the police service in 2005 after the death of four close family members which drove him to 19 years of depression is now seeking to return and serve the nation.
Mbuti Lekapua narrates that he joined the service in the year 1990 and served the country for 10 years before transitioning to the Police Service in the year 2003.
However, two years later (2005), his mother, father, and brother suddenly passed away and after a short while, his wife also passed away which drove him to depression, making him exit the service too
“To date, there is no person from the government who has ever looked for me. Yet, I have never made a single mistake while in service,” Lekapua expressed, in a somber tone.
Lekapua, who comes from Soit Pus in Samburu North, further issued a plea to the government to consider reinstating him, offering him counseling, and allowing him to serve once again.
Additionally, Lekapua observed that despite time helping him learn to cope with depression, he still needs the service for healing
He stated that he has a young family that fully depends on him, yet he is not in a position to support them as he does not have a stable income.
The only memories he has from his time in service are photos of himself in the GSU regalia
“Nowadays he (Lekapua) just sits all by himself. He doesn’t like being in groups. I would like the government to take him back and begin by counseling him because of the depression that hit him while in service as a result of being shot at and losing all his family members and his wife,” said one of his friends.
