After it was discovered that an individual had unlawfully established a police patrol base in Cherus Centre, Kesses Sub-County, without the National Police Service’s (NPS) knowledge or consent, Uasin Gishu police have opened investigations.
Reports state that the suspect, Collins Leitich, also known as Chepkulei, who lived in Asis Village in the Ndugulu location, decided to set up a police patrol base at a building. He even painted the building in official police colors to give the appearance that it was a real security post.
When local officials discovered the illegal outpost, they immediately started looking into it.
The event was reported and documented under OB04/08/03/2025 by officers from Kamuyu Police Post, which is part of Kondoo Police Station.
The disclosure caused outrage among the locals.
“When we discovered that the police patrol base was not official, we were taken aback.” One of the locals remarked, “A lot of us believed it was a sincere effort to increase local security.
The reason why the suspect established the illegal patrol post has not yet been determined by the authorities.
As they carry out their investigations, police have promised locals that the proper measures will be implemented.
