Kilimani Police Station officers were notified today of an ongoing interview on Inooro TV featuring an alleged uniformed female police officer as a panelist.
Doubting the credibility of the interviewee, police officers rushed to the TV station and arrested Monica Wamaitha Gitau, a civilian and aspirant for the Nairobi Women MP seat, in full police uniform.
“She is currently assisting with investigations for the offense of impersonating a police officer,” the National Police Service Tweeted.
To avoid similar incidents in the future, the National Police Service wishes to advise all media outlets to always seek permission from the Office of the Police Spokesperson or respective regional or county commanders before conducting interviews with police officers.
