A taxi driver allegedly found with handcuffs in Kasarani was charged with possession of government stores, preparation to commit a felony, and impersonating a police officer. Possession of handcuffs and jungle uniforms is by law limited to members of disciplined services. Muchina is also accused of pretending to be a police officer for purposes he would not by law be entitled to do in his own authority. The suspect had allegedly approached an M-PESA shop agent in the company of his accomplice at large claiming to be a police officer. Muchina allegedly hurled insults at the attendant and showed off the handcuffs as he walked away.
