Police brutality depicted in ‘Kanjo Kingdom’ shocking

Goal number one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) talks of ending poverty! But how do we do that if other citizens are treated worse than others?

They are considered 3rd class citizens in their own country. Honestly after watching ‘Kanjo Kingdom’ that was aired on the KTN News channel, I wonder where we are heading as a country.

We should be making informal formal but not reaping other people’s fruits of their labour. We are 10 years shy of goal 10, reducing inequalities.

The brutality depicted by ‘kanjo’ police is devoid of humanity, yet we say “haki iwe ngao na mlinzi”.

Eric Wainaina couldn’t have put it any better, “ni inchi ya kitu kidogo.” If our duty bearers have decided to have small mouths and ears over the informal sector’s woes, who will help these innocent Kenyans?

For how long will their food be at the mercy of a ‘Kanjo’? Isn’t this a constitution where a few individuals run a horror show of terrorising otherwise innocent citizens?

Vimal Shah said, “Stand firm and strong on what you believe”.

According to the World Bank Report released during the Kenya economic update dubbed “Kazi ni kazi, informal should not be normal”.

The informal sector is a key player in this country’s economy and if more resources are pumped into the sector, then by 2018 we will have many informal sectors becoming formal.

But how is this achievable if even people living with disability are not spared?

My heart bleeds for the injustices innocent citizens go through but I salute the real ‘wangwana’ and ‘wazalendo’ citizens who captured the videos to show the rot in the county Askaris!
