Kenyan traffic officer apprehends President Kenyatta while driving

Since taking over the instruments of power from his predecessor, Mwai Kibaki, who was notorious of leaving behind a trail of gridlocks whenever he and his entourage moved around the city, President Uhuru Kenyatta on several occasions does the opposite – conceal his movement.
His new style has even baffled traffic police officers who are sometimes caught off guard by the unguarded Presidential entourage.
On Monday this week, a traffic police officer along the busy Uhuru Highway was surprised when he discovered that the motorist he had stopped was the President himself.
The officer was part of a team mobilized to control traffic following a signal that Uhuru was supposed to move from State House to one of the five star hotels for a family meeting.
The overzealous officer was trying to stop the approaching unmarked car to get out of the way for the Presidential motorcade that was apparently carrying the Head of State.
The driver attempted to stop when flagged down then tried to drive past but the officer stood firm.
When the vehicle stopped, President Uhuru rolled down the window identifying himself before he was allowed to proceed by the shocked officer.
“Ni mimi officer, fungua, (it is me officer, allow us to go),” the President begged the cop.
The cop opened the grid lock on traffic and then thanked the President for being humble and a down to earth President.
