A mkokoteni pusher while passing by the gates of Nanyuki GK Prison, called the Warders guarding the gate dogs! (ngui, mbwa in Kikuyu & Swahili respectively) and added that since they weren’t policemen, they couldn’t arrest him.
Arresting him they did, handed him to the police who later took him to court and prosecuted him with a law in our statutes that says “……….creating disturbance in manner likely to cause a breach of peace…..” whatever that means!
Our man is now in the coolers for three months and if he can afford it, he was given a fine of Ksh10,000.00 option after pleading guilty to the ‘offence’ under the influence of alcohol!
How insulting Prison Warders or Police for that matter is a breach of peace escapes this blogger’s simple mind. In any case, they do not treat the public any better and as such, respect being a two way, give and take scenario, they shouldn’t have prosecuted him.
In this case, I think that the law is an ass!
