Kenyans on social media are buzzing after a bizarre twist to a viral story that had once captured national attention. A few months ago, Collins Leitich — popularly known as General Chepkulei — shocked the country by setting up an unofficial police base in Cherus, Kesses (Uasin Gishu County) without government approval.
Back then, reactions were mixed. Some called for his arrest, pointing out the legal implications of impersonating a state institution. Others defended his actions, saying he had noble intentions: improving local security. To make matters more curious, Leitich claimed he had support from higher-ups, though no formal investigations followed.
Now, in an unexpected turn, that same “police base” has been transformed — into a bar. Yes, you read that right. A recently surfaced photo shows the once-fake police post now splashed with bright paint and its doors wide open to thirsty customers.
Kenyans didn’t hold back. Social media lit up with comments ranging from laughter to disbelief. Some dubbed it “peak Kenyan creativity,” while others joked that the man deserves a national award for innovation.
“This guy is either a madman or a marketing genius,” one commenter wrote.
From arrest debates to drink specials, this wild ride has left Kenyans shaking their heads — and perhaps raising their glasses.
