Traffic cop narrates forgiving Kavuludi for speeding

The National Police Service Commission (NPSC) chairman Johnston Kavuludi on Thursday found himself on the spot after a sergeant based in Kericho told the NPSC’s vetting panel that he forgave the chairman for speeding.

Sergent David Ken Onyuka said that Kavuludi was heading to Kisumu from Nairobi when he was stopped at Kericho for driving at 138 Km/h.

Onyuka was prompted to mention the chairman after he was asked by Kipkoech Ngetich, a representative of the Kenya Law Society of Kenya, whether he has forgiven motorists caught speeding while on duty.

He, however, indicated that he did not free the chairman so that he would return the favour some day but out of respect.

The sergeant further intimated that traffic officers are always compromised by circumstances while discharging their duties.

“We are all human and it sounds cruel holding a vehicle driving an expectant mother or the sick, there are several occasions I allow them to proceed but with caution,” he told the panel.
