It has emerged that Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet was bullied by Miraa farmers early this month.
While driving to Meru for the Madaraka Day celebrations Boinnet came face-to-face with bullying and impunity among miraa van drivers.
Reports indicate that Boinnet’s motorcade was forced to give way to speeding miraa vans as they were recklessly driven without following traffic rules.
The IG immediately ordered that the vans be impounded for disregarding traffic rules leading to mounting a major crackdown on the busy Meru-Embu-Nairobi and Nanyuki-Nyeri-Nairobi highways.
Boinnet's experience is part of what motorists go through daily with drivers of miraa harassing motorists on daily basis along the Nairobi-Meru highway.
Many of the vehicles usually disregard traffic laws despite the presence of traffic police officers on the roads.
