Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>A police officer captured on video repairing a road in Nairobi with his bare hands has warmed Kenyans’ hearts.<\/p>\n

The clip, which was first shared by former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo, showed the officer filling the porthole along Red Hill Road with stones to give motorist a better driving experience.<\/p>\n

The man, who was fully clothed in police regalia, was seen carrying the blocks one at a time and dropping them in the gaping pothole.<\/p>\n

He had a wheelbarrow and spade which he was using to level the rocks during the exercise.<\/p>\n

It is believed that the pothole, which had affected many motorists plying the road, had caused many accidents leading to the damage of vehicles and injuring their users.<\/p>\n

“Believe it or not, this is a police officer who decided enough is enough and took it upon himself to cover a pothole that causes accidents along red hill road.<\/p>\n

“Inspector General of Police, what would happen if all cops were like this one?” questioned Kabogo.<\/p>\n

Many Kenyans were elated by the unidentified officer’s zeal to make the world a better place noting that as much as the force had racked up some despicable traits, some individuals were still hardworking and well-mannered.<\/p>\n

“Good work. Allow me to also appreciate the fact that the wheelbarrow beside the cop has been of great help to the activity,” shared one user.<\/p>\n

“Real patriot. While he rehabilitates by hands other big guys just pocket the money meant for such work. We have to appreciate the poor are always the patriots,” added another.<\/p>\n

Some, however, took an issue with Kabogo over his development record while he served as the governor of Kiambu County.<\/p>\n

“But Kabogo, you were Kiambu governor for 5 years. Also, a sitting president is from the same county, but none has ever come up with a solution to curb the Gatitu jam.<\/p>\n

“Thika people have to spend 30mins moving in and out of Thika town during morning and evening hours,” stated Joan Ngengi.<\/p>\n

Nairobians have over the recent months complained over increased potholed roads spotted in Nairobi’s downtown section of the Central Business District.<\/p>\n

The most recent report by the African Journal of Health Sciences released in 2019 disclosed that some 8.8% of accidents experienced on Kenya Roads are caused by potholes and poorly constructed roads.<\/p>\n
