#FinestTopCopEver Before Maj Gen Ali came to Vigilance House, Nairobians could not use their phones in the streets. Every time you detected your mobile was ringing, you had to dart into a shop, answer the call inside, pretend you were window shopping, and walk back to the menacing streets. Maj Gen Ali changed all that. He poured uniformed policemen and women into the streets, making life impossible for Nairobi’s many thieves. Soon enough, the streets were much safer (aided by town clerk John Gakuo’s accompanying clean ups and street lighting programmes) and the city in 2004/5 became unrecognisable from the crime ridden place it had been a few short years earlier. In fact, a new problem arose because news reports began to emerge that crime was on the rise in rural areas because all the crooks had fled the city. ...i wonder if he would answer to our call, moreso despite his best efforts working without leave for 6 years, he somehow ended up as the infamous Ocampo 6. #TownClerkGakuo remains an unsung hero. If wishes were horses he would be governor. Sadly thats not how things work here.
