KAMUKUNJI POLICE OFFICERS IMPRESS IN EFFORTS TO BREAK CON-SCHEMES BY NOTORIOUS ELECTRONICS VENDORS
Well done to Kamkunji-15 patrol team for living the true call of duty by offering assistance to the public.
There is a growing concern by the public over a few unscrupulous dealers in electronics along a named street in Nairobi CBD where fraudsters thrive by conning unsuspecting customers in the guise of selling cheap TV sets.
While we acknowledge the many genuine traders who earn an honest living on a willing-buyer-willing-seller basis, there is a crop of rogue dealers who use fraudulent schemes to fleece innocent Kenyans of their hard-earned cash.
They reportedly lure customers with unbeatable offers on new electronics and once the agreed price is paid, they set new conditions that soars the cost; sometimes to double the agreed price, and getting a refund for buyers who opt out of the transaction is reportedly a daunting task.
While many victims have benefitted from the timely intervention by our enhanced patrol teams, the unlucky few have ended up paying additional costs to the detriment of their pockets, with unreported incidences of customers loosing their hard earned cash in the day-time thuggery.
Mid-day yesterday, the Kamkunji-15, a team of police officers drawn from Kamukunji Police Station, while on routine patrols at the CBD, responded timely and saved a victim from a fraud scheme by rogue electronic vendors.
The victim had paid for his new TV set but opted out of the transaction when the fraudster doubled the price immediately payment for the item was made. He had given up on receiving his money back until the arrival of PC Peter Musembi and his Kamukunji-15 patrol team who took appropriate action and ensured the victim was fully compensated.
This is one of the many positive feedback we receive daily from the public on behalf of our gallant men and women who serve honorably across the country. PC Musembi and your colleagues in Kamukunji-15, we commend you for unrelentingly keeping watch on our streets. PC Paul Mugambi, PC(W) Prisca Kwamboka and PC Stephen Talaam; well done, team!
To complement efforts made by our efficient patrol units, we urge respective commanders to involve Multi-Agency stakeholders in a bid to tame the vice and prefer appropriate action to shop owners and individuals who defraud innocent Kenyans.
