A Nairobi truck driver who was captured in a now viral video claiming that Kanjo had cuffed him inside his lorry has changed tune moments after Sakaja released his statement.
According to previous claims, the truck driver said that Nairobi Kanjo officers had stormed his lorry as he waited around Muthurwa area to carry luggage for his customers. They claimed he had blocked the road.
The alleged Kanjo then went on to cuff him and left him there with his hand handcuffed on a part of his lorry, only for a passerby to find him with his hand bruised while crying helplessly.

However, upon seeing the video, Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja denied claims that Kanjo had handcuffed the driver, claiming that it was a chief who did that and should be arrested.
“This gentleman was not cuffed by City inspectorate officers but by the assistant chief. We have escalated the issue to the County Commissioner David Wanyonyi to get to the bottom of it as Chiefs fall in his structure. That’s was wrong and inhumane.”
Going contrary to his initial statement, the driver now supports Sakaja’s statement that it was an assistant chief who found him on the roadside, cuffed him and left and not Kanjo as he had earlier on claimed.
“They were two ladies who were controlling traffic. They came and said I had blocked the road, one of them cuffed me and they left. They didn’t ask for a bribe or anything, they just cuffed and left my hand hanging there in the lorry. It was not Kanjo.”

However, Kenyans have called the Governor out for suspiciously and allegedly intimidating the driver to contradict his earlier statement claiming that chiefs and assistant chiefs don’t control traffic in Nairobi.
“You want to tell us that nowadays assistant chiefs man roads and control traffic and also carry PINGU! watu si wajinga.”
