A viral video of a young Boy allegedly being harassed by County Askaris has elicited sharp reactions from Kenyans of all walks of life.

On Tuesday Night, a video of the said young Boy surfaced online, attracting mixed reactions from Netizens.

 

The Boy in question who was weeping in pain was allegedly selling groundnuts on the streets of Nairobi before County Askaris allegedly confronted him and poured his whole stock on muddy ground.

The boy reiterated by holding on to the Kanjo lady while crying in pain. Bystanders could be seen watching the whole scenario helplessly.

Onlookers could be heard asking the County Askaris to compensate the young man before he could let them go.

Several celebrities have offered to help the boy restock and properly upgrade his life.

Comedian Eric Omondi appealed to the public to help him locate the young boy so that he could do an online fundraiser for him.

“Wakimwaga Tunaokota...Wakibomoa TUNAJENGA!!! Am looking for this Boy If you have his number please comment with it or DM ME🙏🙏. But remember OUR TIME IS COMING!!!!!,” Omondi shared.

Following the ugly incident MCA Tricky wrote;

“We utterly condemn this act and behavior of the Nairobi County “Kanjos” off-late. The times of any authorities harassing and using force in such circumstances are long gone!

Governor Sakaja, Work to create a business environment for these hustlers, everybody knows that you campaigned under their grace!! Hawa Makanjo watakuchomea mbaya , unless hivi ndio unataka iwork !!,”
