President William Ruto's personal assistant, Farouk Kibet, has threatened to push for the transfer of corrupt police officers from Uasin Gishu County.

Speaking during the women's empowerment programme event at Kesses Constituency on Saturday, Farouk warned area police officers against arresting innocent people to extort them.

Farouk said that a senior police officer and his team had failed to protect the residents from persistent animal theft and breaking of houses by criminals. "I have been informed by several people from Kesses here that the OCPD, who is an employee of the government, has been working with thugs.

This is very serious, and we are not going to entertain such a corrupt person in this region," said Faruok.
