NAIROBI
OUTRAGE AT INVOLVEMENT OF POLICE
OFFICER IN ILLEGAL FUEL SIPHONING
The Commissioner of Police expresses outrage at the involvement
of police officers in an illicit fuel siphoning racket at
Nairobi’s Industrial Area exposed by NTV in video
footage on 20th April 2006.
As we thank NTV for bringing into public
limelight the despicable unlawful activities of the racketeers,
we wish to appeal to public-spirited Kenyans, including journalists
to continue exposing criminal activities to facilitate our
prompt action in stamping them out.
On our part, we wish to assure the public
that immediate appropriate action is being taken on the wayward
police officers and their accomplices exposed in the NTV video.
As a matter of policy Police Headquarters
has not and shall not condone the involvement of police officers,
other public officials or any other person in unlawful activities.
We shall continue to ensure that those who
choose to operate outside the dictates of the law are swiftly
brought to justice and severely punished.
Thank you.
