The National Police Service has urged Kenyans not to be alarmed over a video doing rounds on social media of men in plain clothes singing and marching while holding guns in Tangulbei, Baringo County.
NPS Spokesperson Resila Onyango clarified that the men in the video are National Police Reservists in training.
"Contrary to the online portrayal and perception regarding a video clip currently circulating on social media, of men singing and matching in civilian clothes while armed, the National Police Service wishes to inform, reassure and further clarify to the members of the public that these are the National Police Reservists," Onyango said.
She said the police reservists were engaging in their recreational exercise as part of their ongoing training in Baringo County.
Onyango further gave assurance that the reservists were under supervision when the video was taken.
"The NPR trainees who were yet to be kitted with their uniforms were matching from their residence to their training ground within the Tangulbei Town under the full supervision of their instructors seen wearing tracksuits," she said.
She said the National Police Reservists are part of the National Police Service.
Onyango said the Tangulbei trainees are currently on a six-week training course and are due for their Pass Out later this month.
