@BBCSport This statement reminds me of my country Kenya. Every government office has very big billboards saying "This is a corruption free zone" yet what happens inside those offices is opposite
BREAKING: A man interviewed by Citizen TV during yesterday's 7 pm and 9 pm news broadcasts made allegations that should concern every Kenyan.
He claimed that some police officers operate alongside goons while dressed in plain clothes.
He alleged that they participate in robberies, attacks on civilians, and other criminal activities.
He further claimed that plain-clothes police officers were among those involved in the attack on All Saints Cathedral last weekend.
And according to him, if some of them are arrested, they are later identified and released from police custody.
These are serious allegations.
But what makes them even more disturbing is that they appear to answer questions Kenyans have been asking for years.
During the 2024 and 2025 protests, many Kenyans watched goons move freely in the presence of uniformed police officers.
We saw videos of businesses being looted.
We saw shops being burned.
We saw civilians being attacked.
Yet in many cases, arrests never seemed to follow.
At the time, many people could not understand what they were seeing.
How could criminals operate so openly without consequences?
How could goons appear so confident around officers who were supposed to stop them?
Now, a man has come forward with allegations that seem to offer an explanation.
Whether his claims are true or false, they demand urgent investigation.
Because if those allegations are true, then Kenya is facing something more dangerous than goons.
A goon can only terrorize a few people.
But if criminals are receiving protection from within institutions that are supposed to stop them, then every Kenyan is at risk.
The most chilling part is that this would mean the line between those protecting citizens and those preying on them has started to disappear.
The police officer you are meeting at the station might be a friend of the one who robbed you.
For me, this is exactly why I say Ruto must go.
A country cannot function when the people meant to protect citizens are themselves facing allegations of participating in the very lawlessness they are supposed to prevent.
