Nairobi County Traffic Commander Joseph Chirchir is facing mounting allegations after junior officers raised alarms about a mysterious woman involved in the collection of funds for an upcoming retirement party.
Officers have claimed they are being coerced into contributing money, but there is no clear protocol on how these funds will be used. The situation has caused a stir, with many questioning the transparency of the process and the role of the unidentified woman.
The contributions are being demanded for a farewell event for two retiring senior officers, but officers say they are being pressured to pay without any formal accounting of the money.

The mysterious woman, reportedly acting as an intermediary, has been collecting the funds, with some officers claiming she is acting on Chirchir’s orders.
There are concerns about the lack of clarity regarding the total amount being raised and how it will be spent, with some fearing that the funds might be misused.
One officer, speaking under anonymity, said, “We are being told to contribute under the guise of honoring the retirees, but there’s no transparency.

“This mysterious woman is collecting money without anyone knowing how it will be spent.” The officers’ frustration has been growing as they continue to feel the pressure of these unapproved demands.
The situation has raised serious questions about the integrity of Chirchir’s leadership, with allegations that he is exploiting the event for personal gain.
The officers have been vocal about their discomfort, warning that the money collection seems like an extortion scheme masked as a social gathering.
As the situation develops, more officers are expected to come forward with further complaints, demanding clarity and accountability regarding the funds.
The mystery surrounding the woman’s role only adds to the growing sense of unease within the department.
