Police airlift stunt not brilliant propaganda

The police are a symbol of law and order. When it’s said protesters overpowered and injured some to an extent that they had to be “airlifted” to Nairobi, it scares people. What are we supposed to think? That we have a country of bandits more vicious than the police, people who are frighteningly violent they can run the police out of town?

A Government that is supposed to ooze power was telling the whole world that it had been humiliated by citizens who had allegedly gone rogue in a peaceful protest. It is preposterous to aver 10 police officers were beaten up by protesters and had to be airlifted. And the Government even has the audacity to call other senior officials to hold a full ceremony to “receive the injured”.
