Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet has commended a police officer who was caught on camera directing traffic on a flooded road following a heavy downpour.
The officer, Police Constable Abdi Galgalo of Sultan Hamud Police Station was captured on video by a motorist while directing traffic on a flooded section of the Nairobi-Mombasa highway.
Through a tweet posted on the National Police Service’s official Twitter handle, Mr. Boinnet said Constable Galgalo’s action exemplifies the selfless service rendered by many officers to Kenyans on a daily basis.
Constable Galgalo was seen assisting stranded motorists who were driving through the flooded section of the Mombasa road.
