Police have disowned actions by Collins Leitich alias Chepkulei who set up a police patrol base at Cherus shopping centre in Uasin-Gishu County.
National Police Service spokesperson Michael Muchiri said even though there was a plan to establish a police station in the area, Chepkulie did not use the correct procedure.
Muchiri said, when putting up a station a lot of issues are put into consideration and including several meetings to ensure that everything is in order adding that where a community makes requests is also factored in.
This process he said sometimes takes time. "We have seen everything including what the people are saying on social media but what we have established is that the said station was not operational as claimed," Muchiri explained.
