ISSUE NOT THE PERMIT


weighbridge drama!!

 



  MP Alfred Keter and nominated URP lawmaker Sunjeev Kaur Birdi at the Gilgil weighbridge on the Nairobi-Nakuru road. When the two were told that the truck belonging to Ms Birdi did not have the necessary permit, Ms Birdi said that the issue was not the permit but the failure of the officers to answer telephone calls. When one of the officers defended his colleagues saying that the matter had been handled by the day shift officers, Ms Birdi quipped: “Kwani hakuna handover? (Is there no handover?)”
When the officers reminded him that they were just enforcing the law, Mr Keter replied: “We will reverse the law and we have to start with you!”
He told the officers that though it was the work of legislators to make law, they were free to break them. “We are the ones making laws; when we want we break them.”
He warned them that he would deal with them. “I fight big wars. I don’t fight small wars. Tell your boss he is stupid. Hata kesho hakuna kazi! (You will be kicked out tomorrow!) We have to sack the people,” he warned.
The MP then said he would see the President himself over the incident. However, State House immediately distanced itself from the matter, saying Mr Keter’s claims about the officers based there “are untrue and amount to nothing more than name-dropping.”
“The Presidency commends the public officers who resisted the apparent intimidation,” State House spokesman Manoah Esipisu said in a statement.
The Transport and Infrastructure Ministry said that was not the first time in recent times that public officers have tried to intimidate its officers.
