Police Constable Swaleh Rehemah based in Lang’ata Police Division is nearly giving up in life courtesy of frustration.

Rehema took to social media to express her frustration with her new boss, the Lang’ata OCS saying she is nearly losing it.

In her Instastories, she said that trouble started when she was seven months pregnant. The station had just gotten a new OCS and a new OCPD.

She was deployed to West Park Police Post where she worked daily.

But before this happened, she said that the OCS claimed she had been missing and could not be found in her house nor via phone.

“The station claims that they have been looking for me at my house they did not find me even a single day. I have always been in my house despite them “not finding me”, she stated.

She was summoned by the OCS and ordered to report West Park Police Post where she worked daily.

Unknowingly, the duty roster was changed and she was deployed back to Lang’ata Police Station but she continued reporting to West Park.

“Not knowing that I’m supposed to be working at Lang’ata main station. 4 weeks down and I am called by the records personnel (Lydia) telling me that disciplinary action has been taken against me for the four weeks for absenting myself from work (Remember I have been reporting to work at West Park and that AWOL – Absent Without Official Leave has been sent for me.”

Rehema was then summoned by the OCPD and she explained that she had been working at West Park. The OCPD promised to talk to the OCS and she got a call the following day telling her she will be working at the customer care desk.

When she was nine months pregnant, she got another disciplinary call just when her legs were very swollen. She was ordered to work daily at the main station.

After all this, the intimidation continues and she is wondering what her superiors want with her.

“What does OCS Lang’ata and OCPD Lang’ata want from me? I’m so tired.

She joins a growing number of female police officers who decry harassment and intimidation by their bosses.
