Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has warned residents who record county officers, known as "kanjos," during routine enforcement that they will face arrest.
Sakaja, who spoke during a meeting with the officers, expressed frustration with the growing trend of certain traders and citizens engaging in theatrics during county inspectorate inspections.
He claimed that the behavior interferes with the officers’ ability to effectively enforce regulations and maintain order in the city.
Asserting the need for continuous enforcement of justice, Sakaja stated, "Anyone found recording your actions should be detained; it constitutes obstruction of justice. It's imperative that you carry out your duties without hindrance!"
He also expressed concern about what he called the misuse of recorded footage by some city residents to sensationalise incidents and gain attention on social media platforms.
At the same time, Governor Sakaja highlighted the gravity of defying city laws and resisting arrest, emphasizing the officers' obligation to uphold law and order.
He reiterated his unwavering support for the officers and urged them to uphold the law zealously, without fear or favour.
