Inspector-General of Police Hillary Mutyambai has launched investigations into a viral video of a frustrated female police officer begging to be allowed to resign.
In the video that went viral on Sunday, the policewoman mentions that she had written several resignation letters but were yet to reach Mr. Mutyambai.
"Sir, kindly allow me to resign peacefully from the police officer post because I can thrive elsewhere. Even if it means, resigning without pay, I will not mind.
"I will leave here and work like any other citizen. The internal office is not helping at all. The president should disband this internal affairs office which is not carrying out its mandate,'' the female officer can be heard saying in the video.
Mr. Mutyambai while responding to the video stated," I have learnt of a video trending on social media where a female Police Officer is captured lamenting against unfair treatment and sexual harassment. The officer is attached to the Traffic Department in Mombasa County. She had complained against a merchant hence subjected to an inquiry by @DCI_Kenya officers resulting into a departmental action. I have directed the Gender and Children Directorate to independently investigate the matter and give a report within 7 days."
