KISUMU Town East traffic base commander Jane Mbevi has in recent times come under the spotlight due to her introverted behavior with her superiors and members of the public. The eccentric Kamba lady has been exhibiting some traits which have of late buffed even her colleagues at the workplace.

She says that nothing can happen to her as all she does has the blessings of Traffic Commandant Mr.Kimaru whom she alleges that is the one making her to look for money aggressively like that within the Lakeside City.

“This one which you journalists claim i get i take to Nyanza PPO ole Tito,his Deputy Mr.Tum and my boss Kimaru ,just write what you like and i will see if i am removed from here” she bragged to this journalist when conducted.

At the same time matatu operators in Kisumu town have lined up a series of mass actions against Mrs Mbevi whom they accused of runaway arrogance and blatant abuse of professional ethics.

Those who understand her modus operandi intimate that she has set high targets for officers who monitor various sections in Kisumu town.

The hardest hit areas are Mamboleo where operatories found to have overloaded are forced to part with 10,000/-at the insistence of the base commander. The targets have forced many operators to withdraw their vehicles from a number of sections in Kisumu town.

Those operate at Nyamasaria have also been given targets by Mrs Mbevi who has also adopted a non nonsense approach towards officers who are ‘lazy’.

She has also attracted the wrath of senior officers in Kisumu east who say that she very uncooperative in many ways.

Mrs Mbevi who now owns a fleet of vehicles out of the proceeds on roads in Kisumu appear to be unrelenting in her demeanour towards the public and her colleagues. Mrs Mbevi has over the years been hounded out of offices across the country due to her crude behaviour. There is pressure to have her retired on public interest.
