Residents of the Kenya Police residential quarters at Embakasi estate in Nairobi were treated to a rare spectacle in what seems to be a psyche up to the clarion calls for police reforms.
A middle-aged man and relative to one of the policemen living at the base landed himself in court following an alleged fight over a sufuria.
Court documents at the Makadara law courts show that 28-year-old Nelson Koech used a neighbor’s sufuria in their shared kitchen whilst the said neighbours were away attending a church service on May13.
The accused is reported to have helped himself to the cooking pan to prepare a meal but refused to clean it afterwards.
This led to a heated argument between Koech and one Susan Asuma, his neighbour’s house girl, with the latter demanding that he washes the cooking pan.
Enraged after reportedly being called names by the house girl, Koech proved himself a man by 'disciplining' her with the very tool in question.
The girl is alleged to have hurled a number of insults at the accused calling him a “thief who uses other people’s cooking pans but refuses to clean them” before the man retaliated with assault.
Ayuma is believed to have sustained injuries from the beating prompting her boss to secure a P3 form when the boss returned from church later in the evening.
Koech however, pleaded not guilty to charges of assault at the Makadara Law Courts and was released on a Sh20,000 cash bail.
The case will be heard on August 9 this year.
