Intoxicated Kenyan Cop Arrested after Firing Shot to Force Driver Stop Moving SGR Train
An intoxicated Kenyan police officer has been arrested after he caused a shooting scare inside a Mombasa-bound Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) passenger train.
Police say the officer identified as Bernard Ng’ang’a boarded the train at SGR Nairobi terminus on Friday evening alongside his counterpart Cina Okul, on escort duties.
Moments after the train left Nairobi, Ng'ang'a reportedly began taking alcohol from a plastic bottle.
“On reaching Athi River station, Ng'ang'a started drinking alcohol in a plastic bottle and became unruly,” says Emali OCS Gerrishon Murithi.
Later, the cop ordered the locomotive's driver to stop the train, threatening to shoot him if he failed to obey his order.
When the captain declined to stop the train, the drunken officer brandished the G3 rifle he was carrying and fired a shot on the window, leaving the train's crew and passengers in fear.
The train stopped at Emali station, where officers from the nearby police station arrived and arrested him.
“Sergeant Sammy Korir and Paul Njeru of Emali Railways police station intervened and disarmed Ng'ang'a,” reads a police statement.
No person was injured during the incident.

This behavior explains why China can not relinquish SGR services to Kenyans. Somehow, few of us don't understand how the world operates;especially the value of time. Recently we read about Chinese and Italian not allowing Kenyans in their hotels. Why? The answer to these racial segregations can be traced to our own obscured social norms. Mostly, We tend to be sensitive, politically 'fired', carefree and less couth. We need to change!

Ikiwa huyu mkristo askari polisi hajaondolewa kazini sasa, makosa ni ya viongozi wa Kenya. Viongozi hawa wamechukua msimamo mara moja wakati Wachina walipohusika na ufisadi. Kwa nini hawafanyi hivyo wakati matapeli na majambazi wazaliwa wa Kenya huwa wamevunja sheria?
Dawa kubwa ni kuwa mnano 2022, ikiwa tunataka serikali ya Kenya pamoja na wafanya kazi wote wafanye kazi vizuri, NI LAZIMA mKRISTO WAFULA CHEBUKATI AONDOLEWE KAZINI NA ASIKUBALIWE KUAMUA WATAKAOGOMBEA UONGOZI WA NCHI.
mkristo Wafula Chebukati aliwaruhusu majambazi, wauaji, matapeli, wauza madawa ya kulevya wagombee kiti katika serikali ya Kenya. Wengi wa watu hawa ni watu ambao hawana "utu" (humanity) wala "dhamiri" (conscience) ya kuhudimia wananchi.

Ndugu yangu @Guest1: Ningependa tushirikiane pamoja kuikoa nchi yetu ili vizazi vijavyo (coming generations) viseme ya kwamba Mgeni wa Kwanza na Imara Daima walifanya kazi pamoja hata ingawa walitofautiana sana kwa mambo ya dini ya kigeni.
Uhuuriiye msaakuru Mnyore?
Ningependa ujue ya kwamba kwa upande wangu dunia yote ni nyumbani kwangu. Mipaka tunayoona ilijengwa na binadamu wala si MWUMBAJI. Kwa hiyo, niko tayari kujifunza lugha nyingi zinazosemwa duniani na pia kutambua na kuheshimu lugha na mila za watu wengine. Pia, niko tayari kuishi mahali popote duniani. Lakini, mtu asidhubutu kunipa majina ya mababu zake, mila, lugha, au imani ya mababu zake.
Waona jinsi kiongozi wa Marekani amesahau ya kwamba yeye ni mgeni katika nchi ya Marekani na asili yake ni ya Kijerumani na Kiskochi. Amekuja kujenga ukuta katika nchi ya wenyewe. Kuna Wamarekani sasa ambao hawataki kumsikia mtu yeyote akisema lugha ya asili yake. Wanataka aseme Kiingereza tu. Hawaelewi ya kwamba asili ya lugha ya Kiingereza ni Uingereza.
Waingereza ni watu wenye kiburi (arrogant) sana. Wanataka kila mtu aseme lugha yao na hawataki kujifunza lugha au kudhamini mila za watu wengine. Wameua mila nyingi duniani kwa sababu lugha yako inapokufa, mila pia hufa. Ndiyo sababu unaona Wakenya Marekani na pia Kenya wanafanya vitu vingi vya ajabu na pia vya kutisha sana.
