One of the prerequisites of being recruited as a police officer is the ability to run and not just run, run effectively. The Kalenjin community is well known as a running community and as for our Mountain brethren, well,,,,,.
Thank you Uhuru Ngina Kamau for warning Kenyans against voting for Kipchirchir Samoei Arap Ruto as the next president of Kenya after you.
Now, all can see why you were right.
Kenya has 70 distinct micro nations. What you are doing now (Samoei) is morally inappropriate and wrong.
You need to study CTS (Critical Thinking Skills) in order to leave a positive legacy after you exit from office in 2027.
That means the AGusii,AMeru,Akamba and Omera tribes are more than Kipsigis and Nandi tribes.How many went for recruitment?How many qualified but were rejected?
No wonder the police force is extremely corrupt
Law and order isn't for everyone. Some natural skills required. I can't imagine a flat footed guy running after bare foot bandits in suguta marmar
