Residents of Mwea-West in Kirinyaga County have been plunged into uncertainty after a police patrol base in the area was forced to shut down due to rent arrears.
Officers based at the Riandira Police Post were transferred to other locations following the closure of their base, which was reclaimed by the landlord over an alleged KSh2 million rent deficit.
Six officers had reportedly been residing at the post since 2018 after they were given the structure by the landlord, who passed away in 2018.
Following the landlord's death, reports suggest the officers were notified that they would need to start paying rent to continue their operations in the building.
