Deputy President William Ruto on Tuesday morning shared a video of two police officers engaged in a fight over an alleged bribe.
The DP later deleted the videos after Kenyans on Twitter labelled him a ‘blogger’. In the video, two police officers in a police Landcruiser are seen arguing after stopping two bodaboda riders who were ferrying sacks of charcoal.
The bodaboda riders in the video then dismount their bikes and attack one of the officers who quickly draws his gun.
In the ensuing argument, one of the officers in plain clothes tells his colleague to allow the riders to pass, noting that he had already received a bribe. “Wewe banaa, si ulipatiwa pesa, si ulipewa pesa(you were given money, were you not?” one of the riders asks the agitated officer.
DP Ruto who shared a video of the exchange between the officers decried their conduct saying Kenya has no room for impunity. “There is no room for impunity even during this time when all systems are geared towards dealing with corona pandemic. Citizens must keep vigil as they adhere to the directives of MoH,” he wrote on Twitter.
In a follow-up Tweet, DP Ruto noted the Inspector General of Police had ordered the arrest of the officers who were set to be arraigned in court.
A moment later, the videos were deleted from his timeline.
The video elicited mixed reactions on Twitter with Kenyans saying the second-in-command had assumed the role of blogger-in-chief.
