The Nairobian online community is ablaze about a certain photo allegedly captured in the last few days, that portrays a female police officer, walkie-talkie in hand, conversing with a colleague. But what has attracted the attention -and imagination- of many is not the fact that this person appears to be quite engrossed in "utumishi kwa wote", but rather the claim that the skirt she is wearing is too revealing of her well-endowed bottom. And, as usual, the majority of people online have come up with all sorts of comments -some in support of, and some against- this picture. It does not even help, as some would say, that her name betrays it all.
Clearly, the police service appears to be using a new vector in the war on crime and terror....and this should be commended in every way possible. Why bother cocking G-3 rifles and AK-47s with cold, hard shapeless steel when you can employ other tactics at a cheaper cost? Why employ the Nyayo house torture chamber tactics such as water-boarding, threats of circumcision or squeezing male testicles to a pulp, when one can extract information in a more peaceful and entertaining manner? As any man will corroborate, the mass weapons of destruction displayed by the famed police officer trump any other weapon or interrogation technique when it comes to extorting information. Females know; they have used this same technique- or one of its derivatives- for eternity...and it works miracles!
Sadly, the police service appears to have been testing the waters...for as soon as the salacious picture went viral online, the officer was reprimanded and given a different uniform. Let us live it to the undercover police officers, the police service appears to have said, and see how that pans out. Guys, be on the lookout!
