    There was drama at Tarasaa area in Tana Delta Sub County, Tana River County when a drunkard man tried to disrupt the groundbreaking for the construction of a police station in the area.

    County Commissioner David Koskei accompanied by the County Police Commander Ali Ndiema and Garsen MP Ali Wario had just laid the foundation stone at 10: 00 am on Friday morning when Mr Gideon Koroso started shouting from the nearby thicket disowning the police proposed Tarasaa police station.

    The team later proceeded to Oda area which is six kilometers away for the ground breaking of the headquarters of the newly gazetted Tarasaa Sub County that was hived off from Tana Delta Sub County.

    Police officers on site were seen rushing in the direction of the noise and on close follow up by journalists, they apprehended Mr Koroso who was drunk at the moment and whisked him to a police van packed 300 meters from the venue.

    “Naitwa Gideon John Koroso, ndani ya nyumba na hapa ni kwetu nyumbani. Nashangaa mimi napigwa pingu, hakuna mtu amepigwa nafungwa mimi pingu. Sababu ni nini? Nilikuwa nimetoka kwa shamba, napita na huku na nikauliza ya kwamba kulikuwa kunaendelea nini, shida ilikuwa iko wapi? Sikupiga kelele mimi,” said Mr Koroso while handcuffed in a police vehicle.
