“I will go to Naivasha Police Station myself, that’s where we’re going to begin this competition. We want clean police stations.
“When wananchi come to be served, let them be served in a clean and respectful environment.

Buruburu police station awarded
In 2018, Buruburu police station had been rewarded for being the cleanest police station in Nairobi and second best in the country by Independent Police Oversight Authority (IPOA).
The police station had cleanliness of the highest level with continuous water supply which is rare for most stations.
Within the station, the offenders are categorically placed in separate cells which are clean, well ventilated and properly lit.
According to the Officer Commanding Police Division Geoffrey Mayek, the inmates are given three meals a day and are allowed to bask in the sun when the cells get too cold.
