Video of frustrated police officer calling out DP Gachagua for neglect Ignites Debate: In the undated video, the officer starts off his almost-teary diatribe by directly addressing the Deputy President as he explicitly explains his devastation as a senior driver in the police force.
While hiding no words, the unnamed officer rants on, blaming Gachagua for his woes and even daringly expressing that he is not afraid of any consequences.
“Mr. Gachagua, deputy president, this is for you. I’m a senior driver. Kutoka 2008 nimekuwa driver. Na saa hii nalala hapa chini, sina blanketi,” he says while pointing to the bare floor.
“Mr. Gachagua, this is direct to you, na sikuogopi. You failed us as police officers. I’ve trained as a police officer for the last 12 years as a driver kutoka Isiolo…”
He added: “Nimeendesha Joseph Kanyiri, a very senior officer in the government na mimi hata corporal sijapata. Do you think it’s worth (it)? Kwa sababu sina mtu kutoka Karatina anaweza nishika mkono, I’m just useless? Wakikuyu tutasaidika saa ngapi?”
In a teary voice, the officer continues diving into his despair, saying that he had survived for years without a salary and that his wife had been his saving grace.
He further adds that he was not seeking to be helped, saying that if any help would be forthcoming, he would wish that it would be directed to his wife.
“I don’t vote and I will never vote. Usinisaidie mimi, in my family, if you can help, just help my wife. My wife was there for me, she has been there for me, she will always be there for me,” he says.
“Gachagua you should get this, mimi sina mshahara. My wife has supported me for the last seven years because I don’t have a salary…”
This has ignited a debate online;
one user said, “In the disciplined forces, this is suicidal and chances are he will be dismissed. But Gachagua can take it in stride and make him a driver in his docket…”
Another user said, “I feel for this man. He says ‘help my wife, not me’. That sounds like someone who has resigned to fate and is not afraid of losing it all. Someone check on this man. This is a cry for help!”
