IG Mutambayi orders probe after sexual harassment video goes viral – KBC

Inspect General (IG) of Police Hilary Mutyambai has ordered investigations after a video of a female officer went viral where she laments against unfair treatment and sexual harassment.

On his twitter account Sunday, the IG says the officer who is attached to the Traffic Department in Mombasa County had complained against a merchant and was subjected to an inquiry by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officers resulting into a departmental action.

Mutyambai directed the Gender and Children Directorate to independently investigate the matter and give a report within seven days. 

In the video, the police officer ‘begs’ the IG to let her resign peacefully.

She accuses the office of Internal Affairs of not addressing their plight and even urges President Uhuru Kenyatta to disband it as it is full of corrupt officers.
