A police officer in Kisii has found himself in the wrong side of the law after he was caught and said to have bought chang’aa and partied with jailed suspects all night.
According to reports, the police officer attached to Rioma Police Station bought the illicit brew and sneaked it into cells where they drunk with the inmates in a suspected party
In an OB report, fellow officers got wind of the situation after the party got wild and the officer together with inmates could not hold off the intake. However, the colleagues moved in swiftly and took control of the situation before it escalated further
Police accused their colleague of laxity and threatening their security by partying with suspects accused of murder. The police and the suspects were freshly booked on that account.

A suspect who did not participate in the merry-making helped the officers with investigations into the incident, giving an account of how the officers served his cellmates the drinks.
“When another duty officer went to check on prisoners in cells, he found the prisoners drunk and unable to explain themselves. The two officers were equally drunk.”
The station’s OCS upon visiting the scene searched and recovered empty two-litre and quarter-litre bottles both with traces of the suspected local brew hidden in a cell toilet’s cistern.
“The drunken officers and two prisoners were escorted to Kisii Police Station where alcohol level tests were done and all found positive.”
However, the OCS initiated disciplinary action against the two officers, as investigations into the incident continued to determine further actions and consequences
