UDA MP cries for justice after being beaten by police at Nyayo House

Fafi MP Salah Yakub demands action from Interior CS Kindiki following an assault by police at Nyayo House.

In a statement on Monday, the lawmaker who is allied to the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) claimed that the assault left him nursing injuries on his leg and arm.

He revealed that he had visited Nyayo House in pursuit of a passport when the officers, a policewoman in particular, attempted to extort him before the alleged assault.

In addition, the lawmaker claimed that the police officers assigned to the building had repeatedly assaulted citizens seeking services.

“CS Kithure Kindiki and the Independent Policing Oversight Authority, (it is) very unfortunate that police officers at Nyayo house are mishandling the general public and today I fell a victim, roughed up and seriously assaulted. I sustained injuries to my left foot and arm,” he lamented.

The UDA MP further alleged that six MPs, him included, have so far fallen victim to the police officers who he claimed routinely extorted the public.

“There is a policewoman heading the security there. She collects money from Kenya Somalis who applied for passports in order for them to access the premises and she verily mishandled most NEP MPs (MPs from the North Eastern Province of Kenya). I am the sixth MP to be humiliated by that contingent. Waziri (CS) take action!” He added.

The assault comes after the Interior CS during his visit to Nyayo House launched a clean-up intending to hasten the production of passports.

The CS’s visit was informed by complaints from a section of Kenyans over delays in the process of acquiring passports in the recent past.
