Reads like a script from cowboy movie

Es fighting D- :D:D

That’s stupid, eventually they’ll all be arraigned in court. Kiherehere mingi kama watoto

Hii ni vita ya nyoka mbili ! can seat back and watch them kill each other

Sasa junior fulani warden atapoteza job tu Ivyo, juu ali- happen kuwa duty n the inspector came n dragged him along. Na juu ni E material, incapable of critical thinking and zero decision making ability alifuata tu kama kondoo.

Usually this kind of thing is “settled internally” for GOK to save face. Its like the case in Athi river where EACC officials arrested cops collection bribes along mombasa road and the raid was show on TV then armed cops came and rescued the arrested cops and it never got to court, it was “settled internally”.

You’re right, provided it wasn’t a fatal confrontation they will likely sort it out internally.

True. That’s what happens in many governments to save face, but displinary actions always follow and they can be harsh

watu waheshimiane especially armed officers, huwezi shika mwenzako juu ya ujinga kama ku break curfew ama kutema mate.
