STATEMENT BY STATE HOUSE ON "PRESIDENTIAL ESCORT CAR" and how Kenyans reacted with their hilirious comments.

Following extensive media coverage, some containing serious factual errors, I would like to clarify this matter.

First. We would like to confirm an incident involving a BMW 735, purchased in 2000, registration number GK A374E, and using civilian number plate KAW 479Y.

Second. On Wednesday, at 9.30 pm, the car’s driver, Chief Inspector Machui , was accosted by four armed men near Ruai, Nairobi. The men drove the Chief Inspector around the city for a few hours, setting him free at about 2.30 am at Mihango, Embakasi. He was robbed of KShs 60,000 in cash and a mobile phone.

Third. The men took off with the vehicle, which is used for police business. A search was immediately launched but the car is yet to be recovered.

Four. This was an ordinary car. It is not armour-plated. It is not a limousine. It is not part of the Presidential fleet. It is not a Presidential Escort car.

Five. As the government always emphasizes, security is a shared responsibility and all drivers should be aware of their surroundings at all times to avoid such incidences. Statistics clearly show a drop in crime in our nation’s capital in recent months and in other parts of the country. And further gains can be guaranteed by vigilance by all Kenyans.

SPOKESPERSON, MANOAH ESIPISU

Then Kenyans comments started streaming in.

Stop looking for it pliz.. Its just with our own kenyan haijapotea.. Its an opportunity for u to buy a new one.. Furthermore the person holding it is a tax payer n will still purchase fuel to pay more tax n promote economy

If BMW 735 is an ordinally car then vitz must be a toy car

JUST AN ORDINARY CAR?? Smh mungu kwani mimi nilikosea wapi

An ordinary car(BMW),driven by an ordinary officer(Chief Inspector) carrying ordinary change (Ksh.60,000).I'm going bonkers!

" Statistics clearly show a drop in crime in our nation’s capital in recent months and in other parts of the country" which statistics? where was the research conducted??whats happening in turkana?

@manoah esipisu,how dare you say there is a drop in crime incidents,oh,anyway,state house is a different country from kenya

With all due respect how can the rank of Chief Inspector of Police b deployed as an ordinary driver driving ordinary Vehicle Y dont u deploy him as an OCS? Gava always cry that police officers are not enough 2 protect its citizens,I hope Kavuludi is reading this.
