Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja issued a stern warning, stating that residents who records county enforcement officers, commonly referred to as “kanjos,” during routine enforcement activities risk facing arrest.
Addressing a gathering of officers, Sakaja expressed frustration over the growing trend of citizens and traders resorting to theatrics during county inspections. He argued that such actions hinder law enforcement efforts and disrupt public order in the city.
“Anyone found recording your actions should be detained; it constitutes obstruction of justice,” declared Sakaja, emphasizing the importance of unhindered law enforcement.
The governor also voiced concerns about individuals exploiting recorded footage to sensationalize incidents on social media platforms.
Governor Sakaja stressed the gravity of flouting municipal regulations and resisting arrest, while also highlighting law enforcement’s responsibility to maintain public order. He reassured the officers of his unwavering support and urged them to carry out their duties fearlessly and impartially.
