Police in Uasin Gishu have launched investigations after a man was found to have illegally set up a police patrol base in Cherus Centre, Kesses Sub-County, without the knowledge or authorization of the National Police Service (NPS).
According to reports, the suspect, Collins Leitich, alias Chepkulei, a resident of Asis Village in Ndugulu location, took it upon himself to establish a police patrol base at a building, and went as far as painting the structure in official police colours, creating the impression of a legitimate security post.
The discovery of the unauthorized base was made by local authorities, who promptly commenced investigations.
