NTV anchor Ken Mijungu threatens to resign within 7 days if his demands are not met
On Sunday 8th October 2017 will be a moment of truth as NTV anchor Ken Mijungu will either resign from his job or turn a blind eye to his promise.
Mijungu threatened to resign if the Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet does not take action against General Service Unit (GSU) who raided University of Nairobi hostels and clobbered students protesting the rearrest of Embakasi East MP Babu Owino.
On Thursday September 28th anti-riot police stormed into University of Nairobi hostels and harassed and senselessly beat up students. Several videos surfaced online showing police police frogmarching, beating and generally harassing students.
Mijungu’s threat came before Boinnet was interviewed on NTV by Linus Kaikai on Sunday October 1st and denied that there was police brutality in the service.
“As a Kenyan citizen I am taking a moral high ground on police brutality. After watching several of the video especially of the police tear gassing students in their hostel, I am asking the IG Boinnet to take action on the police within 7 days, arrest and prosecute. If he doesn’t I will resign. There is no moral obligation to continue reporting on the same thing time and again without translating to something. It’s useless and frustrating,” wrote Mijungu on social media.
