Kenyans have lauded the DCI’s efforts in curbing the car theft menace that has been on the rise in the country. Other Kenyans though found issues with the type of car model found in possession of the arrested suspects.
The five were found with two vehicles of the common Probox model and some netizens couldn’t just take it with some mocking them for their choice of what to steal.
Sasa hawa ni wezi wagani wanaiba probox..

No corrupt official arrested has ever held such a placard and a picture of him/her taken and shown to the public.
WHY?
