A senior DCI officer is in custody after allegedly shooting two men during a 2:30 a.m. altercation at a Kitengela club, leaving victims fighting for their lives.

The fragility of life and the terrifying impunity of armed authority collided violently in the early hours of Monday morning in Kitengela. In an incident that has once again ignited the debate on police conduct, a senior officer attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) allegedly drew his firearm and shot two patrons during a bar altercation.
The silence of the night was shattered at 2:30 a.m. not by the sound of music, but by the sharp crack of gunfire that sent revelers at the popular entertainment joint scrambling for safety. This is not just a "bar fight gone wrong"; it is a stark indicator of the unchecked power dynamics playing out in our social spaces. As two men fight for their lives at the Kajiado Referral Hospital, the question remains: who polices the police when the lights go down?
Eyewitness accounts paint a chaotic scene. What began as a heated verbal exchange between the officer—who witnesses claim was visibly intoxicated—and other patrons quickly escalated into a physical confrontation. In a moment of madness, the officer reportedly unholstered his Ceska pistol and fired at close range.
"It happened so fast," said a terrified waitress who requested anonymity fearing reprisals. "One minute they were arguing about a bill or a woman, I couldn't tell... the next minute, 'Pah! Pah!' and people were screaming. He didn't even look sorry; he just stood there with the gun."
This incident adds to a grim statistic of misuse of firearms by law enforcement officers in social settings. Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) data suggests a rising trend in "off-duty" violations, where the line between peacekeeper and perpetrator blurs under the influence of alcohol.
Residents of Kitengela have expressed outrage, demanding swift justice. "We cannot live in a country where you go out for a drink and end up in the ICU because a policeman had a bad day," remarked John Kamau, a local boda boda operator. "The DCI must clean its house."
As investigations commence, the spotlight turns to the Internal Affairs Unit. Will this be another case of "justice delayed is justice denied," or will the heavy hand of the law finally apply equally to those who enforce it? For the two men lying in hospital beds, the answer is a matter of life and death.
