Gilgil OCS Albert Kipchumba wrote an emotional letter to his bosses after he was transferred from his post.

This is just but a great act of love. Thanks a million, Gilgil people and my great fans! Thanks to my precious colleagues from Gilgil Police Station; my team players, with whom without them, I would not have made it. I also pass my gratitude to the Chairman of Boda Boda and your team. Every night, whenever we hear of a crime underway in any location, you rush and accompany us to the rescue.

You listened to me and maintained law and order. My bosses, led by our Deputy County Commissioner, it was great joy unspeakable working with you to ensure government policies and directives are adhered to. Senior Chief Kihenjo and your amazing team from Eburu, Karunga, Gitare, Langaa, Kikopey, you’re just an amazing family. We left Bondeni, Ngomongo, and Kambii a better place.

Our current MP, your absolutely great team and other political leaders, it was superb and great working with you all. All churches, schools, National Youth Service (NYS) and KDF – our security partners – it has been an excellent co-existence. I have learnt a lot from them.

Our daily interactions have been of laughter, comradeship and mutual friendship. My colleagues at ASTU have been such a blessing in our vision and mission in making Gilgil safe.

I will miss you all. You made me remain in good and perfect shape. To the residents of the larger Gilgil area, thanks a lot. I’ll never forget my three years in Gilgil. Once again, thanks a lot.

In October 2019, one Paul Gachunga recalled that Kipchumba, then Kapsoya, Eldoret OCS assisted him to be rehabilitated from alcohol addiction.
