A middle-aged man is now toothless after a fight with a drunken Ongata Rongai police officer.

According to sources, the altercation started when the man, while enjoying his drink, was told that he was under arrest.

The man, identified only as Musyoka, said he was confronted by two police officers as he “rested” at around 11pm after work, whereupon he requested them to let him access the washrooms first.

When Ken Clark, a navy veteran (1970-1976) visited Kenya, he experienced firsthand the devastating effects of waterborne diseases.

Post recovery, he took samples of water consumed in Maasai land, tested it and found it contaminated. His doctors found out that most illnesses among the Maasai community was as a result of water problems hence it was better to treat the problem from the source.

According to UNICEF, in Kenya, 9.9 million people drink water directly from contaminated water sources and an estimated five million people practice open defecation.

Ken started Clean Water Kenya (CWK), a non-profit Charitable Organization in 2016 to supply portable water filtration systems in rural Maasai.

Speaking during distribution of the systems in Kisamis in Kajiado West Constituency, Jackson Kanga, the country director CWK, said Ken visited Kenya in 2014 then volunteered with a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) in Texas to provide medical supplies and medicine to remote villages in Kenya.

Ken has been in Iraq and seen destruction and human suffering. He has been in over 522 missions and has witnessed personal attacks and convoy attacks. He has also lost friends and co-workers.

Through his personal experience, he authored “Other Sons and Daughters: A True Account of Civilian Convoy Drivers in Iraq”.

Together with his wife Judy, he wrote a delightful children’s book “Wiggles & Button.”

Charitable donations to CWK pur- four teeth.

Attempts by the man to report the assault at Ongata Rongai Police Station were rejected by officers at the OB desk, who demanded that he be treated before recording a statement.

The man was taken to a hospital in Eastleigh, Nairobi, by the police themselves, treated and given artificial teeth, then told to go home.

He said the officers ordered him to surrender his teeth, which he refused.

“I later took the teeth back to the police station but was again told to bring a medical report.

When I went to the hospital, I was told the officers took it away,” a distraught Musyoka said.

Kajiado North Sub-county OCPD Abduba Gula said he is aware of the incident and directed the Rongai OCS to ensure the matter was recorded in the OB for investigations to begin.

He ordered the man to take his documents, including treatment receipts, to the station for documentation and also file a P3 form.

The OCPD noted that the allegation is a serious matter and has instructed the DCI office to take up the matter, saying he will not watch as police officers manhandled innocent people.
